North Korea’s deputy United Nations (UN) ambassador stated that the country intends to launch many more satellites in the future, and also pointed a finger at the United States for attempting to “illegalize” the country’s space capabilities. But with geopolitical tensions rising, the U.S. and the United Nations have expressed concern that North Korea’s satellite development is just a decoy for missile technology tests.
