Underestimated or overestimated? North Korea’s satellite launch in perspective

Underestimated or overestimated? North Korea’s satellite launch in perspective

Despite supposed technical problems with its rocket, North Korea surprised the world this week by launching its Unha-3 rocket and successfully placing a satellite into orbit.
The launch -- using the same rocket, satellite, and trajectory -- was a repeat of last April's attempt, which failed. Overall, it was North Korea's fifth attempt to launch a satellite, and its first success.http://www.thebulletin.org/web-edition/features/underestimated-or-overestimated-north-korea%E2%80%99s-satellite-launch-perspective
