The South Korean news media is now reporting that the Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1 (KSLV-1) has been rescheduled for launch on Tuesday, August 25th between 4:40 a.m. and 6:20 a.m. EDT (4:40 p.m. and 6:20 p.m. Korean time) from the NARO Space Center.
The liftoff was originally set for Wednesday but was called off after the automatic launch sequence detected a drop in pressure inside a helium tank that controls various valves less than 8 minutes before launch. Experts have since said that there were no mechanical problems in the rocket and that the countdown was halted because sensor software misinterpreted data.
