It is irrelevant for this orbit. The ITU assigns slots for geostationary orbits but you don't have to get permission to put a satellite into a non-GSO. Countries are, however, expected to notify the ITU of their intentions so that the ITU can disseminate that information to the rest of the world and coordinate to avoid any problems (this is more to do with radio frequencies than avoiding physical collisions).
North Korea notified the ITU a few days before the launch but the information provided was incomplete (they didn't include the frequencies the satellite will be using).
They expect it to have a four year life, by the way.
- jsprogrammer 11y ago>they didn't include the frequencies the satellite will be using According the the article, the satellite has made no detectable transmissions.
- jackgavigan 11y agoYeah but it's supposed to. At least according to the North Koreans.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoAh, do you have a link to the information/application/announcement submitted?
- jackgavigan 11y agoNo, it was reported in the news[1] with the caveat that the information provided was incomplete and the suggestion that the ITU would need to wait until full/complete info was provided before they would publish it to their members. 1: http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=3014767 http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.asp...
