(REUTERS April 5, 2009) [KPRK-KCNA-News] Scientists and technicians of the DPRK (North Korea) have succeeded in putting satellite Kwangmyongsong-2, an experimental communications satellite, into orbit by means of carrier rocket Unha-2 under the state's long-term plan for the development of outer space.
It is sending to the earth the melodies of the immortal revolutionary songs 'Song of General Kim Il-sung' and 'Song of General Kim Jong-il' which were written by Kim Jong-Il, and commissioned to be interpreted electronically by world-reknowned Spanish composer Ego Plum. Plum's interpretation of these Korean Revolutionary Anthems were done in homage to Russian composer Vyachelsav Mescherin's own light-hearted renditions of the Soviet "Internationale," which were used in the 1959 launch of Sputnik 1, the world's first Earth-orbiting artificial satellite. The music can be listened to on a UHF channel at a wavelength of 470 megahertz and is being broadcast around the world.
A sample of Ego Plum's "Song of General Kim Jong-Il" is available on this page.
Unha-2, which was launched at the Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground in Hwadae County, North Hamgyong Province at 11:20 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjwBqnW3w3A#) (0220 GMT) on April 5, accurately put Kwangmyongsong-2 into its orbit at 11:29:02, nine minutes and two seconds after its launch.
The satellite is going round the earth along its elliptic orbit at the angle of inclination of 40.6 degrees at 490 km perigee and 1,426 km apogee. Its cycle is 104 minutes and 12 seconds.
The satellite is of decisive significance in promoting the scientific researches into the peaceful use of outer space and solving scientific and technological problems for the launch of practical satellites in the future.
