    I wonder what the capabilities of this satellite are. Knowing NK, it might just be a guy in a steel drum holding a disposable camera.

      Without any sort of space suit, either. Just a frozen corpse with a little yellow Kodiak camera floating around in a barrel.

      If you feel like it you can go down the amateur satellite tracking rabbithole. There is a blog run by a guy in Holland sattrack blogspot or something like that, I used to follow. He pretty much can tell you way more than you want to know about any satellite.

    Um, no? The article you linked to shows that they’re planning to launch it, though they haven’t actually tried yet, let alone achieved a successful launch…?

    I would have thought they blew their budget on the first attempt. Even then, I wouldn’t have expected the satellite to be great. I’d be surprised if the third was decent.
