Chollima

North Korean small-lift satellite launch rocket

North Korea's newest orbital rocket had a brutal debut — three failures in 2023 before its first success that November, then another loss in May 2024. It launches from the Sohae site and carries military reconnaissance satellites.

We track every Chollima launch.
