Japan to launch spy satellite to keep an eye on North Korea

Tanegashima Space Center

Japan is sufficiently frustrated with North Korea's recent space and nuclear weapon exploits that it's launching a new observation satellite into orbit that will spy on the Hermit Kingdom.

The rocket, scheduled to launch on 27 January, will launch from the Tanegashima Space Centre in the south of the country, carrying a satellite that will reportedly use radar to detect objects as small as a metre in size on the ground. It will be the second Japanese satellite in orbit with intelligence-gathering capabilities.
