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?
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?
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.

AGI Viewer is a free application
that allows you to experience STK-generated content such as the North Korea missile launch analysis
in a dynamic and interactive 3D environment.

Both STK and AGI Viewer provides users with the opportunity to incorporate 3D models of objects
into an accurate virtual globe environment. The following 3D models are in an MDL format to be
used with STK and AGI Viewer.
