Uncovering North Korea's Elusive Space Agency

The media has been covering North Korea's rocket and missile development for years, and presidents have been consistently trying to get North Korea to denuclearize. But, we hear very little about North Korea's space effort. 

North Korea actually entered the space race rather late as they didn't construct their first launch base till the 1980s. In terms of rockets, North Korea has developed and tested two which include the Taepodong rocket and the Unha rocket. 

On each of these rockets, North Korea launched a Kwangmyongsong satellite, but only two of these satellites have actually reached orbit with one of them tumbling in orbit.

This video covers the entirety of North Korea's history with space research and development and explains whether or not North Korea's space agency, NADA, is actually a threat.
