Naro-1 blasted off from the Naro Space Center in Goheung, South Jeolla Province at 5 pm on June 10 and ended with an explosion.

The second flight of Naro, the Korea Space Launch Vehicle 1(KSLV-1), ended with an explosion on June 10, 2010. The rocket blasted off from the Naro Space Center at 5:01 p.m., but exploded approximately two minutes later. 

The Naro Space Center lost contact with the rocket 137 seconds after take off and the rocket appeared to have exploded at an altitude of 70 km, south of Jeju Island according to the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). 

The second launch attempt went wrong much sooner than the first and Korean and Russian engineers are going to find out what went wrong for Naro and why it blew up.

Korea signed a contract that Russia supplies the rocket for USD400 million for the first and second launch attempts of Naro. Russian assistance is expected for a third rocket. 

Meanwhile, Naro's debris fell into waters some 30 degrees on the northern latitude and 128 degrees on the eastern longitude and, luckily, caused no damage to any people or territories.
