The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) conducted an "important" final-stage test for the development of a reconnaissance satellite at the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground on Sunday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
A spokesperson for the National Aerospace Development Administration (NADA) said that the test was mainly aimed at evaluating the satellite's photography capabilities, its data transmission system and its ground control system.
The test verified technologies including camera operation in a space environment, data processing and transmission capability, as well as the tracking and controlling accuracy of the ground control system, KCNA reported.
"This is an important success which has gone through the final gateway process of the launch of reconnaissance satellite," NADA said.
The DPRK has previously announced tests on its reconnaissance satellite on February 27 and March 6.
