North Korean satellite launch simulation

This simulation shows how a nominal satellite launch would look like (i.e. not a ballistic missile ;-)
Using the number and location of announced hazard zones, AGI software derived a notional three-stage vehicle, ascent trajectory and low-Earth orbit. This example conjunction analysis illustrates how the orbit might intersect other space objects. This approach infers what capability a launcher might have as a ballistic missile.
