[i]South Korea launched a half-Russian, half-Korean rocket toward Earth orbit from the country's southern coast Thursday, but officials say they lost communications with the vehicle approximately two minutes after liftoff. The Korea Space Launch Vehicle, or KSLV 1, blasted off from the Naro Space Center at 0801 GMT (4:01 a.m. EDT), or at 5:01 p.m. local time. The rocket flew through a nearly transparent deck of clouds about a minute after liftoff. Live video from the space center showed no signs of any problems during the early moments of the launch, but officials with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute say they lost contact with the rocket 137 seconds into the flight.[/i]
