Expert: DPRK is completing the development of two satellites




We were told at a meeting in Pyongyang about promising projects in the field of satellites. The first is an Earth remote sensing satellite. Of the parameters were reported weight - more than 100 kilogram and the resolution of the observation equipment of the order of several meters. The second is a communications satellite weighing "more than a ton" and planned for decommissioning and operation in a geostationary orbit. Currently, the development of these is almost complete. These works are performed as part of the annual plan for 2017.
- said the expert.

According to Khrustalev, from the Korean side, the meeting was attended by representatives of the structure responsible for promising programs in the field of spacecraft - the head of the department Kim Jong Oh and the head of the department Kim Chor.

        Yes, how to say ... No wonder the Americans decide to go to her or not. They will take advantage of these starts as a pretext for starting the war and how many countries will immediately find themselves in the enemies of the DPRK, if they immediately die from their side, from among the best athletes and tourists. And our Primorye is VERY close, and then Vladivostok ....

            What kind of intelligence? It is said - sounding!
            Intelligence is good. And for the bad, it's espionage. North Korea has sounding.

      what's the difference when they launch? our flag, coat of arms with a hymn will not be there. true hockey players are great, they applied for the name of the team “Krsanaya Mashina” with the accompanying design of the uniform. the Yankees were not at all determined to go or not, but as soon as they refuse to go, then you can think about it. the launch of the satellite all the more will not be from the territory of the DPRK.

      Which is planned at the time of "H" drop to Washington. Something like this may sound like the reaction of the American media to this statement.

        Far from the geostationary "drop". This is not less than half an hour, and even in a space perfectly visible by radars. Communication satellite is.

      and each of them has a warhead (well, just in case, if anything can be dropped in the USA).

    Analyzing news from North Korea:
    3 September 2017 of
    Pyongyang conducted the sixth nuclear test. South Korean defense minister Song Yong-Mu said North Korea has managed to reduce its nuclear charge up to 500 kg.
    November 28 21017 city
    The tests were carried out on the personal orders of the head of the DPRK, Kim Jong-un, in response to the hostile policies pursued by Washington. The entire US territory is in the zone of destruction of the new Hwason-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, ”North Korean television reported.
    The missile was launched along the so-called hinged path - almost vertically to reduce the flight range. And in normal mode, that is, on a normal, trajectory, she could overcome about 13 thousand kilometers

    I wonder what our guy was doing there, or did the Korean comrades use it only to voice the next hints to the Americans?

      And their "hints" literally yesterday voiced by Sergey Lavrov: they are ready for dialogue under security guarantees. And note - this was not stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the PRC, but namely Russia.

    fellow Ah well done, Kim! Turned out!
    And who now dares to impose sanctions on him ?!
    Now he is not testing the ICBMs, but is mastering the cosmos.

    Meanwhile, the gentlemen from the civilized world are trying to find hostages from the DPRK.

    "Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), plans to visit Pyongyang to discuss the possibility of North Korean athletes participating in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the KBS television channel reported citing a source in the South Korean government."

    Vague doubts torment me. We have the Dnieper carrier, created on the basis of the R-36M UTTX, capable of bringing 500 kg to the geostationary station. Zenit is able to bring to the geostationary from 600 kg to 2,5 tons. And then their most powerful Eunhy-3 (launching about 100 tons) displayed 100 kg per 500 km, and then immediately the satellite more than 1 ton and to the geostationary station? I DO NOT BELIEVE
