Picture of the Day: North Korean Spy Satellite Photo
|
These images, allegedly taken from a “test-piece satellite” launched by North Korea’s National Aerospace Development Administration (NADA) to an altitude of 500 kilometers, with a panchromatic camera on Dec. 18, 2022, show South Korea’s western port city of Incheon (L) and capital city of Seoul. The North’s Korean Central News Agency, which released the photos the next day, said the launch for the development of a reconnaissance satellite was successfully made at Sohae Satellite Launching Ground, Cholsan, North Pyongan Province.

I think it’s less a spy satellite and more like they attached a low quality camera and transmission device in the nose cone of the rocket.
that is a high quality 8 pixel camera….
