The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) made its second attempt to launch a reconnaissance satellite but unfortunately failed, as reported by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The rocket’s first and second stages had normal flights, but an error in the emergency blasting system during the third-stage flight led to the unsuccessful launch.

The DPRK’s National Aerospace Development Administration (NADA) conducted the launch at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground in Cholsan County, North Phyongan Province. The mission involved the reconnaissance satellite Malligyong-1 and the new-type carrier rocket Chollima-1. The launch took place at dawn on Thursday.

In response to the failure, the NADA stated that it would thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident and make the necessary improvements. They plan to conduct their next reconnaissance satellite launch in October.

This setback in the DPRK’s space program highlights the challenges and complexities involved in satellite launches. It also underscores the importance of rigorous testing and quality control to ensure successful missions.
