The KSLV-I [[launch vehicle]] is based on the first stage of the Russian [[Angara rocket]] and will be built by [[Russia]]. The solid-fueled second stage of KSLV-I will be built by South Korea. The launch complex for KSLV will also be built by Russia. It will be capable of launching a satellite weighing 100 kilograms into low orbit. The first launch of KSLV-I is planned for [[2008]].
