[A-DX] Technische Daten über koreanischen Satellitenstart laut KCNA

[Martin Prochazka <prochazka_martin@xxxxxx>]

Nachdem das Thema in der Liste bereits mehrfach erwähnt wurde: Hier das 
amtliche Bulletin der Nachrichtenagentur KCNA mit technischen Details 
plus Sendefrequenz zum gestrigen Raketenstart. Ob die Meldung aus 
Pyongyang (erfolgreicher Start) oder die Erklärungen aus Washington und 
Seoul (Satellit ins Meer gestürzt) stimmen, lässt sich wohl erst nach 
längerer Beobachtung der Frequenz 470 MHz klären.

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 1,426 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 developed by the indigenous wisdom 
and technology are the shining results gained in the efforts to develop 
the nation's space science and technology on a higher level.

The successful satellite launch symbolic of the leaping advance made in 
the nation's space science and technology was conducted against the 
background of the stirring period when a high-pitched drive for bringing 
about a fresh great revolutionary surge is under way throughout the 
country to open the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation 
without fail by 2012, the centenary of birth of President Kim Il Sung, 
under the far-reaching plan of General Secretary Kim Jong Il. This is 
powerfully encouraging the Korean people all out in the general advance.
