North Korean Missile Launch

(30 March 2009) — North Korea announced in March 2009 that it would launch a satellite, setting off efforts worldwide to quickly analyze the implications.

AGI examined this event to illustrate how its ready-to-use software solves unanticipated problems. The following videos, AGI Viewer files and high-resolution images are for media and public use.

    Event reconstruction

    This video demonstrates the launch of the rocket, with possible paths, tracking stations and hazard zones.


    What would a satellite launch look like?

    720p HD Version

    Using the number and location of announced hazard zones, AGI software derived a notional three-stage vehicle, ascent trajectory and low-Earth orbit. This example conjunction analysis illustrates how the orbit might intersect other space objects. This approach infers what capability a launcher might have as a ballistic missile.


    How would Japan/U.S. verify a satellite launch?

    720p HD Version

    Using the previously derived notional orbit, sea-based radars are positioned to track the launch and monitor key parameters and events such as instantaneous impact point and stage three separation/ignition. Line-of-sight access opportunities to the U.S. Space Surveillance Network are provided to illustrate when a successful orbit might be verified.

  • Interactive 3D Viewer Files
