The Unha-3 rocket with the Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite payload launched from the Sohae launch site at Tongch’ang-dong.

The Kwangmyongsong-3 is a 100 kg box-shaped satellite
1.4 x 0.6 x 0.7m in size with body-mounted solar panels.

Unha-3 is a three stage vehicle; stage 1 is 2.40m in diameter, stage 2 is about 1.5m in diameter, and stage 3 is about 1.2m in diameter.

The first two stages were to fly south on an azimuth that would lead to an 88 degree inclination orbit; the third stage was expected to make a yawed burn that if successful will result in a 500 km, 97.4 deg inclination sun-synchronous orbit.

I’ll bet a lot of the locals went in during the night and siphoned off some of the fuel to burn in their cars.

The rocket, named Unha-3

"The second stage of the rock was to splash down..."

Yeah, rocks aren't extremely flight-worthy over long distances. Even money says Carney tells the Press ODrama made it fail with the power of his mind and concentration.

Looks like it failed upon exiting the Yellow Sea area, right about where it would make sense to intercept it if you were a Japanese AEGIS destroyer captain.

I wonder what will happen to the scientists involved. Weren’t the olympic athletes, who didn’t bring home the gold, subjected to some sort of punishment?

I wonder how many heads will roll and how many executions will happen due to this epic fail?

I’m sure those responsible for the failure have already been blown to bits by mortars.
