The notice period for the launch of satellites, which North Korea had notified the Japan government and others, ended at 11:0 a.m. on the 2th. At the end of last month, North Korea said it would launch its first failed military reconnaissance satellite as soon as possible, and Japan, the United States, and South Korea remain vigilant against launches using ballistic missile technology.
North Korea announced on March 31 that it launched its first military reconnaissance satellite, the Marurigyong-1, from the Seohae Satellite Launch Site in Dongchang-ri in the northwestern part of the country with a new rocket, the Chollima Type 1, but lost thrust due to an abnormality in the newly introduced second-stage engine and crashed into the Yellow Sea on the west side of the Korean Peninsula.
After that, no relaunch was carried out, and the launch notice period for the "satellite" that North Korea had notified the Japan government and IMO = International Maritime Organization ended at 2:11 a.m. on the 0th.
The failure has not yet been communicated to North Korean residents, and the National Space Development Administration says it will conduct a second launch as soon as possible after investigating the cause, taking countermeasures, and undergoing various tests.
Kim Yo Jong, sister of General Secretary Kim Jong Un, also emphasized in a statement that "our military reconnaissance satellites will enter orbit accurately in the near future and begin to carry out their missions," and Japan, the United States, and South Korea continue to be vigilant against launches using ballistic missile technology, which the United Nations Security Council has banned against North Korea.
