North Korea's satellite, which was launched on Feb. 7, passed over the Super Bowl 50 game. Pictured is the country's Unha 3 at the Sci-Tech Complex in Pyongyang in 2012.

A "Shining Star" was watching over Levi's Stadium after the Broncos 24-10 win.

As football fans poured out of the Bay Area stadium, North Korea's observational satellite zipped by the field at an orbit 300 miles above the Earth at 8:26 p.m., said Martyn Williams, a North Korean technology watchdog.

"North Korea's new satellite just flew right overhead Levi's Stadium," Williams tweeted.

"I would put it down to nothing more than a coincidence, but an interesting one," he added in an email to the Associated Press.

NORAD tracked Pyongyang's satellite and its third-stage rocket booster to Earth's orbit after the country's successful launch Sunday. Kim Jong-un's isolated country cheered the "fascinating vapor" that trailed the rocket's trip into the upper atmosphere, where it will complete an orbit every 94 minutes.

An “American” President would have knocked down.

Only for peaceful purposes.

I have to say I am impressed they got it into orbit.

Too bad we don’t have a shuttle, we could have just retrieved it and dumped it in the ocean and laughed.

Here is a launch video on YouTube. This is from North Korea news, so it’s full of propaganda.

Any chance this satellite can drop nukes?

[MRadtke]

Thinly veiled threat?

[r_barton]

Looks like they launched a dishwasher. ;-) It’s still large enough to hide a nuke inside.

Nice to see again the face of Ri Chun-hee, the news anchor, aka Pyongyang Patti.:-)

If she shows up, it is usually a bad news, except that she announces the death of a leader. I hope to see her soon, wearing in black and announcing the death of the Fat Ugly One.

Thanks for the video link.

Thing looks like a super-computer server.

Extremely doubtful. Their launch vehicle just doesn't have the throw weight. It can boost a couple hundred pounds of satellite to sufficient altitude and velocity to achieve orbit. But if you stack 1500 to 2500 lbs of warhead on it (estimate for first generation attempt at an RV) it only has enough total energy to loft that to a sub orbital trajectory. That payload estimate would also have to include some kind of orbital maneuvering system to de-orbit it on command. I don't think they can do it - yet. But hey, ballistic missiles with intermediate to intercontinental ranges are bad enough.

However, every launch of their booster stack is a valuable test. They get information on the performance of their 3 stages no matter what is sitting on top. Every satellite launch is useful in wringing out issues with the vehicle. I'm sure they are working on other less peaceful payloads too.

“Any chance this satellite can drop nukes?”

How about the possibility of detonating a nuke in orbit for an EMP strike?

1996-1998
A team headed by Loral (Hughes in attendance) produced a technical report identifying a minor problem in the flight-guidance system as the cause of the crash in February 1996 (Long March.)

The American experts at Loral did not check with the State Department, and the report was given to the Chinese. Several months later, they ``turned themselves in'' to the State Department, after which, the Pentagon launched an investigation, and concluded in its report, labeled ``secret,'' that ``United States national security has been harmed.''

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R., Calif.), Chairman of the House Space and Aeronautics Subcommittee, said that U.S. expertise has ``perfected'' China's Long March rockets, which are identical in design to Chinese strategic nuclear missiles. A Loral employee said "The most interesting aspect of the accident was this: engineers who reviewed the recovered payload debris noticed something special that was missing: encryption hardware."

**********

A witness along with the MP's reported the same events as to how the missile guidance system hardware had been taken out by Chinese personnel and his report is in laymans terms:

Bill Clinton allowed the Loral missile guidance system to be sent to China and then, under close observation, it was to be installed in one of their rockets. All of this was done -to help China- by using our Loral system- to get their telephone communications system in place via one of their Long March rockets to a designated area in space.

That Chinese rocket crashed into a mountain across from the launch pad 2 1/2 minutes after it left the launch pad.

There was a detachment of 24 U S MP's that had been sent along with the guidance system box to make sure that it remained intact and unopened until installed (with our personnel observing).

The rocket left the launch pad with the Loral guidance system in it. When that Chinese rocket crashed, Chinese military personnel were immediately rushed to the crash sight and they surrounded the broken up rocket and kept our MP's away. Our 24 MP's were held back for three hours which allowed the Chinese the time to extract the guidance technology.

Bill Clinton was supposed to get clearance from a Congressionl committee before any military tech was allowed to leave our country But, Bill Clinton intentionally went bypassed the law and did not get the required clearance from the Congressional committee. It was Bill Clinton himself who allowed China to secure our latest missile guidance technology!

"When the 24 U S MPs where finally allowed to go to the rocket itself - they discovered that the encryption hardware had been removed."

That system could not be improved upon, and hasn't been impoved and it was and is the best. And now the Chinese have it and possibly have passed that technology on to Norht Korea.

The manuals and report on how to repair some issues with the guidance system were not supposed to be given to the Chinese but Loral personell did so before someone in top tiers of Loral could stop them. This was all in the Loral reports and this is why Loral, in court, pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay a 2.1 million dollars in fines.

This is just one of the eight categories of treason that Bill Clinton performed. This Loral guidance technology theft is fully discussed in Senator James Inhofe's speech to Congress on June 23, 1999. Inhofe titled it the 'Clinton National Security and Coverup. It was Bill Clinton himself who is responsible for China stealing our missile guidance system technology.
