``Military satellites are indispensable,'' a comment by a researcher at North Korea's National Aerospace Technology Administration, is this a prelude to a wrap-up party?

South Korean think tank Korea Institute for Unification (KINU) announced on the 6th that North Korea is expected to carry out another reconnaissance satellite wrap-up party this month. Specifically, it will be launched between 10 and 26 days.

On the 10th, China reported an editorial by the National Aerospace Technology Administration that argues that the operation of military reconnaissance satellites is essential for the country's security. Some see this as a preparation for the third satellite wrap-up party.
On May 31st, North Korea held a wrap-up party for a new type of rocket called Cheollima 1 carrying the reconnaissance satellite Manligyong, but after the first stage separated, the second stage's engine failed.
The aircraft lost propulsion and crashed into the Yellow Sea west of the Korean Peninsula. Then, on August 24th, we held another wrap-up party, but it failed again. The wrap-up party is a violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions by Japan, the United States, and South Korea.
This was carried out amid strong calls for its cancellation. Immediately afterward, an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council was held at the request of Japan, the United States, and other countries, and North Korea's Ambassador to the United Nations, Kim Sung, also attended. Ambassador Kim said, ``We
does not recognize U.S. Security Council resolutions and is not bound by them," adding, "The reconnaissance satellite wrap-up party is a lawful self-defense operation to deter hostile military actions by the United States and its followers." exercise of right

The National Institute for National Unification pointed out on the 6th that a wrap-up party could be held between the 10th and the 26th. The ``10th to 26th'' date is based on China and Russia, which are widely expected to hold the conference sometime this month.
The decision was made after taking into account factors such as the summit meeting in Afghanistan and South Korea's rocket launch schedule in November. Although we have already entered the period predicted by the Institute for Unification, no wrap-up parties have been held so far, and there are no wrap-up parties.
It appears that they are carefully assessing the timing. In North Korea, on the 10th, the founding anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea, a large-scale celebration event was held in the capital, Pyongyang, with a flag-raising ceremony and students.
Dance performances and fireworks displays were held. The move is believed to be aimed at strengthening internal cohesion. On the other hand, there was no speech by General Secretary Kim Jung Eun.

Meanwhile, the Korean Central News Agency published an article written by a researcher at the National Aerospace Technology Administration. North Korea is
At the Supreme People's Assembly held last month, a proposal was adopted to reorganize the National Space Development Administration and change it to the National Aerospace Technology Administration, and the article published by the Korean Central News Agency in the name of a researcher was After new establishment
This is my first commentary. Researcher Ri Sung-jin asserted that the United States, along with Japan and South Korea, is promoting the military use of space, and said that military reconnaissance satellites are ``to guarantee our country's security, interests, and right to exist.''
This is an essential strategic choice." They are teasing that their third wrap-up party will be held this month, and it appears that they are trying to justify this once again.
