I'm thinking this has more to do with 1-uping NK then improving the infrastructure in space.

Agreed, I do not see any other reaction likely after NK keeps launching and sabre rattling.

Going off topic...SK means Slovakia to me. Isnt South Korea abbreviated to KR?

KR is Koran Republic but that would require me to say DPRK... NK is easier. lol

South Korea is supposed to be a paragon of technological advancement and economic prosperity but surprisingly, South Korea is slightly behind North Korea in the regional space race. This is the first satellite the country managed to launch successfully with the help of Russian experts who built the rocket's first stage and it has been relying on Japan and the US to put its satellites in space.
