The satellite of dignified Juche Korea, the ever-victorious Workers' Party of Korea and the great Korean people means an independent stand of the DPRK and the great national power.

"Break through the cutting edge!" This was the important behest of Kim Jong Il and strategic slogan of our party which attaches the greatest importance to science and technology.

The earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-4 represents the strong power of the DPRK, a scientific and technological power shining thanks to Kim Jong Il's patriotism.

The spectacular success made in the satellite launch was a historic deed as it demonstrated before the world once again that no force on earth can prevent the DPRK from exercising the right to use space for peaceful purposes.

The scientists and technicians of the DPRK National Aerospace Development Administration succeeded in putting the newly developed earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-4 into its orbit according to the 2016 plan of the 5-year program for national aerospace development. This was an exercise of its inviolable right.

Let us bring about great leap forward and innovations in building a thriving nation in the same spirit as what we displayed in successfully launching the Juche-oriented satellite. This is the unanimous will of service personnel and people of the DPRK.

The editorial calls upon them to make all-out charge with the great pride and honor of living and struggling in the dignified great Paektusan nation in order to more strikingly demonstrate the might of Kim Il Sung's and Kim Jong Il's Korea and glorify the Seventh Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea as the one of victors and glory.
