“but whose orbits fly from north to south in the Eastern Pacific.”

How could any satellite in polar orbit not pass over the CONUS quite frequently? The earth rotates.

Don’t know but maybe they are not in true polar orbits ... I think the poster was referring to the direction northerly to southerly but not to a polar orbit which is quite different. Maybe someone has more or better info on the orbits and a better explanation.

Most anything by NK or Iran is going to have a whole lot of bluster, photo shopping and other misleading data.
