Pyongyang, February 7 (KCNA) -- The DPRK National Aerospace Development Administration on Sunday issued a report on the successful launch of earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-4.
    The report said:
    Scientists and technicians of the DPRK National Aerospace Development Administration succeeded in putting the newly developed earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-4 into its orbit according to the 2016 plan of the 5-year program for national aerospace development.
    Carrier rocket Kwangmyongsong blasted off from the Sohae Space Center in Cholsan County, North Phyongan Province at 09:00 on February 7, Juche 105(2016). The satellite entered its preset orbit at 09:09:46, 9 minutes and 46 seconds after the lift-off.
    The satellite is going round the polar orbit at 494.6 km perigee altitude and 500 km apogee altitude at the angle of inclination of 97.4 degrees. Its cycle is 94 minutes and 24 seconds.
    Installed in Kwangmyongsong-4 are measuring apparatuses and telecommunications apparatuses needed for observing the earth.
    The complete success made in the Kwangmyongsong-4 lift-off is the proud fruition of the great Workers' Party of Korea's policy on attaching importance to science and technology and an epochal event in developing the country's science, technology, economy and defense capability by legitimately exercising the right to use space for independent and peaceful purposes.
    The fascinating vapor of Juche satellite trailing in the clear and blue sky in spring of February on the threshold of the Day of the Shining Star, the greatest national holiday of Kim Il Sung's Korea, is a gift of most intense loyalty presented by our space scientists and technicians to the great Comrade Kim Jong Un, our dignified party, state and people.
    The National Aerospace Development Administration of the DPRK will in the future, too, launch more satellites of Juche into the space, true to the great Workers' Party of Korea's policy of attaching importance to science and technology.

朝中社平壤２月７日电　朝鲜国家宇宙开发局７日发布关于成功发射对地观测卫星“光明星四号”的公报。公报如下：
    主体１０５（２０１６年）２月７日９时，朝鲜国家宇宙开发局科技工作者在平安北道铁山郡西海卫星发射场，用“光明星”运载火箭成功发射根据国家宇宙开发五年计划２０１６年计划新研制的对地观测卫星“光明星四号”。９分４６秒后，卫星顺利进入轨道。
    卫星轨道斜角为９７．４度，近地点为４９４．６公里，远地点为５００公里，周期为９４分２４秒。
    卫星装载有对地观测所需的测量设备和通讯器材。
    “光明星四号”卫星发射取得完全成功，是伟大的朝鲜劳动党重视科技政策的辉煌硕果，是在堂堂行使自主的和平利用宇宙权利来发展国家科技、经济和国防力量中具有划时代意义的事件。
    在太阳朝鲜的最大民族节日——光明星节来临之际，主体卫星在２月的春天苍穹留下令人入迷的飞行云，是朝鲜科技工作者献给伟大的金正恩同志及有尊严的朝鲜党、国家和人民的一份最纯洁的忠诚礼物。
    朝鲜国家宇宙开发局将遵循党的重视科技政策，继续发射更多的主体卫星。
