North Korean TV airs new segment promoting national space program

State media lauds DPRK's efforts to become a "space power," hints at continued extra-terrestrial ambitions

North Korean state television on Thursday aired a new segment exploring the origins of the National Aerospace Development Administration (NADA) logo, reiterating Pyongyang’s long-time goal of becoming a “space power.”

It is the latest in a string of renewed promotion of the country’s space program following a period under the radar amid negotiations with the U.S. and sensitivity over its connection to the country’s nuclear program. 

The resumption of open promotion of North Korea’s extra-terrestrial ambitions could signal plans for another satellite launch, a possibility supported by ongoing construction on new facilities at a launch control center in Pyongyang
