The successful test provided the DPRK with a scientific and technical guarantee for confidently developing and completing the carrier rocket for the geo-stationary satellite in the period of the five year plan of the national aerospace development and helped it fully acquire carrier capability for launching various types of satellites including earth observation satellite at a world level.

The DPRK is a full-fledged satellite manufacturer and launcher that produced by itself everything necessary for satellite launches and a space power with tremendous national power to successfully launch any satellite, be it earth observation one or geo-stationary one as it wishes.

We feel immensely proud and exceptionally worthy of the fact that this is the fruition of the great self-development principle.

No force on earth can block the great Paektusan nation from advancing by dint of the invincible might of self-development principle. The world will clearly watch the majestic appearance of the thriving country not only on the land but also in vast space before long.
