second pair of spy satellites to monitor North Korea shortly
after take-off today, a project spokesman said.
"Shortly after the launch, we sent a destroy order to
the rocket as we concluded that the mission cannot fulfil the
purpose," said Shoko Yamamoto, a spokesman for the satellite
launch project.
"We cannot tell further details, but at least we can say this mission ended in failure," Yamamoto said.
