Satellite Images of Pyongyang

The Korea Aerospace Research Institute publicized for the first time an image of Pyongyang taken by the multipurpose satellite Arirang 2 in February. In the middle of the photo are Daedong River and Neungna Island. The circle in the island shows the location of “May 1 Stadium.” Gaeseonmun (triumphal arch), Kim Il Sung University, and Geumsusan Memorial are also near the island. The satellite photographs certain parts of the Korean peninsula every two or three days in a 15-kilometer swath from southeast to northwest.
