No statement from DPRK yet. Expect something soon in the next few hours. Probably the 5 p.m. local TV news, which will be in another 2 hours or so. One expects they will proclaim it as a successful “satellite” launch.
“Mexico’s mission to the United Nations set the meeting for 3 p.m. EDT, spokesman Marco Morales said. Mexico holds the 15-nation council’s presidency this month.
That approval came after Japan submitted a formal letter requested an emergency session of the United Nations council that handles threats to international peace and security.”

When Mexico is going to the mat for Japan, while Zero is campaigning in Europe; it looks pretty bad.
I would like to see the telemetry on this launch, have you heard any details yet? Any speculation on if they made it to orbit?
Thanks again!
