SEOUL/TOKYO — A North Korean satellite launch on Wednesday (May 31) ended in failure, sending the booster and payload plunging into the sea, North Korean state media said, and the South's military said it had recovered parts of the launch vehicle.
The new"Chollima-1" satellite launch rocket failed because of instability in the engine and fuel system, North Korean state news agency KCNA reported.
The military shared pictures of debris pulled from the water, including a large cylindrical object tethered to a buoy. South Korea last week placed satellites in orbit with a domestically designed and produced rocket for the first time, and China sent three astronauts to its space station as part of crew rotation on Tuesday.
In data provided to international authorities before the launch, North Korea said the rocket would fly south, with stages and other debris expected to fall over the Yellow Sea and into the Pacific Ocean.
