#NorthKorea on Dec 18 launched a small #Scud-class #suborbital #rocket from its Sohae space centre to an apogee of 500 km carrying a test payload for its planned #reconnaissance satellite. In the past it looks like they have had problems getting data back from their test satellites, so testing the payload & comm links on a short range test in view of the space centre makes sense: https://post.news/article/2J6bGVfLakWGkbCrqrMPME7Lhdw (and see also https://www.nknews.org/2022/12/10-years-after-pivotal-launch-north-koreas-space-odyssey-is-just-beginning/ for context).

Quiz time: what is a scud?

If you'd have asked me a week or so ago, I would have said a Scud was a Soviet Union designed ballistic missiles used in the Iraq war.

I have since learnt that a scud is a glider, a low-level detached, irregular cloud, and an acronym that is too crude for me to repeat here, but something to do with dynamite.

This was all prompted by a reader ...
