South Korea: Failed North Korean Satellite Had No Military Capability

South Korea analyzed debris from a crashed North Korean satellite and determined it lacked reconnaissance ability.
The satellite was intended to be North Korea's first spy satellite but failed shortly after launch.
South Korea conducted a 36-day salvage operation to retrieve parts of the rocket and satellite from the sea.
Experts from South Korea and the U.S. found the satellite had no military utility for surveillance.
North Korea aims to try another satellite launch to correct technical issues from the failed attempt.
