North Korea announced in March 2009 that it would launch a satellite, setting off efforts worldwide to quickly analyze the implications. AGI examined this event to illustrate how its ready-to-use software solves unanticipated problems.This video recreates the attempted satellite launch that took place on April 5th, 2009.

There is a great deal of excitement in Washington this evening due to the release of a video of a mysterious UFO or Satellite over North Korea. A state department spokesman has been quoted as saying "The quality of workmanship and degree of technology is definitely North Korean" We will be bringing you more developments as they happen.
This video shows a simulation of the North Korean rocket launch from April 2009, comparing a satellite launch to a ballistic missile launch. Sea-based radars are positioned to track the launch and monitor key parameters and events such as instantaneous impact point and stage three separation/ignition. Line-of-sight access opportunities to the US Space Surveillance Network are provided to illustrate when a successful orbit might be verified. Video courtesy of Analytical Graphics, Inc. (www ...
This simulation shows how a nominal satellite launch would look like (ie not a ballistic missile ;-) Using the number and location of announced hazard zones, AGI software derived a notional three-stage vehicle, ascent trajectory and low-Earth orbit. This example conjunction analysis illustrates how the orbit might intersect other space objects. This approach infers what capability a launcher might have as a ballistic missile.

North Korea announced in March 2009 that it planned to send what it called an "experimental communications satellite" into space from the Musudan-ri launch site in the north-east. The three-stage rocket blasted off just before midday local time, within a pre-announced launch window, on 5th April 2009. It flew over Japan towards the Pacific, with two booster stages dropping into the ocean to the east and west of Japan, Tokyo said. North Korea says the launch is part of what it calls peaceful space development. "Our scientists and engineers have succeeded in sending satellite 'Kwangmyongsong-2' into orbit by way of carrier rocket 'Unha-2'," state news agency KCNA reported.

KCNA on DPRK's Successful Launch of Satellite Kwangmyongsong-2 Pyongyang, April 5 (KCNA) -- Scientists and technicians of the DPRK have succeeded in putting satellite Kwangmyongsong-2, an experimental communications satellite, into orbit by means of carrier rocket Unha-2 under the state long-term plan for the development of outer space. Unha-2, which was launched at the Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground in Hwadae County, North Hamgyong Province at 11:20 on April 5, Juche 98 (2009), accurately put Kwangmyongsong-2 into its orbit at 11:29:02, nine minutes and two seconds after its launch. The satellite is going round the earth along its elliptic orbit at the angle of inclination of 40.6 degrees at 490 km perigee and 1426 km apogee. Its cycle is 104 minutes and 12 seconds. Mounted on the satellite are necessary measuring devices and communications apparatuses. The satellite is going round on its routine orbit. It is sending to the earth the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "Song of General Kim Jong Il" and measured information at 470 MHz. By the use of the satellite the relay communications is now underway by UHF frequency band. The satellite is of decisive significance in promoting the scientific researches into the peaceful use of outer space and solving scientific and technological problems for the launch of practical satellites in the future. Carrier rocket Unha-2 has three stages. The carrier rocket and the satellite ...

It is sending to the earth the melodies of the immortal revolutionary songs 'Song of General Kim Il-sung' and 'Song of General Kim Jong-il' which were written by Kim Jong-Il, and commissioned to be interpreted electronically by world-reknowned Spanish composer Ego Plum. Plum's interpretation of these Korean Revolutionary Anthems were done in homage to Russian composer Vyachelsav Mescherin's own light-hearted renditions of the Soviet "Internationale," which were used in the 1959 launch of Sputnik 1, the world's first Earth-orbiting artificial satellite. The music can be listened to on a UHF channel at a wavelength of 470 megahertz and is being broadcast around the world. A sample of Ego Plum's "Song of General Kim Jong-Il" is available on this page.
