North Korea unveils posters celebrating launch of spy satellite NHK

North Korea says it has created a set of six posters to celebrate the successful launch of its first military spy satellite, Malligyong-1, on November 21.

The country's ruling Workers' Party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, unveiled the propaganda posters on Thursday.

They feature a rocket rising into space carrying the satellite. The Chollima-1 bears the letters NATA, the logo of North Korea's National Aerospace Technology Administration, as well as the motif of a mythical horse that the rocket is named after.

Some of the posters also feature the intercontinental Hwasong-18 and other missiles, with a statement that they are "eyes" overlooking a vast distance, and strong "fists" capable of beating a vast distance.

The posters show the spy satellite taking images of the US mainland, Hawaii, and Japan, to reinforce North Korea's claim that the country has now acquired the ability to constantly monitor every move its enemies make and to attack them.

North Korea has said that its spy satellite officially started its reconnaissance mission on December first. The North also said that it would decide on a plan in late December for launching more spy satellites next year.

Japan, the United States, and South Korea have been carefully analyzing the capabilities of the North Korean satellite.
