North Korea knows putting nukes in space is futile with the USA stopping them.

But it WILL force a ground invasion of North Korea. It would be an epic battle.

North Korean satellite 'tumbling out of control,' US officials say -

[link to twitter.com]


Oh Shit
 Quoting: DoorBert


And where will it fall...kim
 Quoting: THE INQUISADOR


Who says it's going to fall? Tumble is a pretty vague word in this case. It has been what, 24 hours since launch? If the vehicle didn't achieve orbit it would have already re-entered, unless the NK's put it on an incredibly wonky orbit.
 Quoting: CharlieMurphy


If they tried to adjust the orbit and a thruster malfunctioned it will tumble out of control. There is a finite amount of reaction mass on board. But anything is possible..
 Quoting: THE INQUISADOR


I was just saying it's not necessarily falling back to Earth. When they say tumbling it could just mean it will be flipping end over end in an orbit around Earth for many years. RCS thrusters are meant for rotation/translation control. Like you mention, with the limited reaction mass on board, the RCS system is not good for making orbital altitude adjustments.

I like your idea on the malfunction though, IMO that is most likely what happened here, sending the satellite into an uncontrollable spin.

It can spin all it wants up there though, as long as it is in an orbit that doesn't dip into the Earth's atmosphere, it will be up there for a while.
Fuck Yea!
