Korean Committee of Space Technology on Satellite Kwangmyongsong-2

Pyongyang, May 7 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Korean Committee of
Space Technology issued a statement on Thursday, one month after
satellite Kwangmyongsong-2 started its normal operation after being
put into orbit.

It says:

As already reported, scientists and technicians of the DPRK
successfully put Kwangmyongsong-2, an experimental communications
satellite, into orbit of space by means of carrier rocket Unha-2 on
April 5 in the Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground in Hwadae County,
North Hamgyong Province.

The carrier rocket has three stages and the satellite is tasked to
transmit information about its performance and experimental relay
communications to the earth along with melodies.

Installed in the carrier rocket and the satellite are measuring and
transmitting devices including remote-controlled measuring devices and
orbit measuring devices for the purpose of measuring orbit and sending
information. There are on the ground such measuring devices as radar
for tracking orbit and remote-controlled receiving devices.

The melodies of "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "Song of General Kim
Jong Il" sent to the earth at 470 MHz already made public and the
observation of information about the satellite and the operation of
such measuring devices as the radar for tracking orbit on the ground
confirmed that the satellite was accurately put into orbit.

Various information sent by the satellite has been received and
analyzed, the movement of the satellite changed as commanded by the
control posts on the ground and a relay communications test through
the satellite successfully conducted at relay communications posts in
various regions.

The observation by the satellite and a control test were normally
conducted despite the unidentified strong jamming done in the above-
said communications frequency band, in particular.

We have accumulated a wealth of experience in the course of launching
and operating the satellite and made great progress in laying a
scientific and technological foundation for the launch of practical
satellites in the days ahead.

The scientists and technicians of the DPRK satisfactorily attained
their goals of the desired establishment of the comprehensive
satellite launch and control system, the putting of satellite into
orbit and experimental communications by a satellite through the
launch of Kwangmyongsong-2 and thus made a giant stride forward in the
activities for the development of outer space for peaceful purposes.

They're communists - they're liars; the two go hand-in-hand.

Like you said, it's news from a parellel universe; they have no sense of
reality and are doomed by their own idiology.

I do have to wonder how much is face saving in front of their Glorious
Leader. i.e. they're lying to HIM to save their skins.

The same thought occurred to me. Somewhere in North Korea there's a
radio station tasked to play patriotic songs while fading in and out
at the appropriate times...

Even more proof that their system of government is doomed - just another
tin-plated dictatorship.

I don't think their system leaves much room for that sort of thing.
