Thirty-five space launch missions were attempted during the first six months of this year. Only two of the missions failed, India's GSLV 1 rocket on April 15 and South Korea's Naro 1 on June 11. The number of missions is slightly more than the 34 posted in the first half of 2009. There were also two launch failures during those six months, Orbital Sciences' Taurus XL booster on February 24 and North Korea's Taepo Dong 2.
