In its first launch attempt, a North Korean rocket carrying a spy satellite plunged into the sea soon after liftoff. Like it did on Thursday, North Korea quickly acknowledged the failure of the earlier launch as well, saying the crash happened because the Chollima-1 rocket lost thrust between launch stages.
"NADA appears to still be under time pressures to succeed with a space launch given the commitment to an October launch," Panda said."That may be enough time for a new iteration. There's no reason to think we won't see another launch attempt in that time frame."South Korea's military recovered some of the debris after the first launch and said in early July that the North Korean satellite wasn't advanced enough to conduct military reconnaissance.
South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers last week it spotted signs that North Korea was preparing for the test-flights of intercontinental ballistic missiles and other provocative weapons. On Monday, KCNA said Kim had observed the test firings of strategic cruise missiles.
