North Korean documentary about the North Korean space program from 2010

I found this documentary about North Korea's first space launches, aired at the Three Revolutions Exhibition in Pyongyang in June 2010:
The part that runs from 1:47 to 2:44 shows the Korean script of a hitherto-unnoticed letter sent by the late Kim Jong-il to the technicians who worked on the Kwangmyongsong-1 satellite (which never made it into low earth orbit despite claims to the contrary by the Korean Central News Agency). Also note that the Korean characters 조선 on the first stage of the Paektusan-1 and first stage of the Paektusan-2/Unha SLV (seen at 0:08 and 3:08 respectively) translate into Choson, the Korean name for Korea (by contrast, the first stage of the Paektusan-2 rocket used in the April and December 2012 launches was emblazoned with the Korean characters 은하, which translate into "galaxy", while the first stage of the Paektusan-2 rocket that sent the Kwangmyongsong-4 satellite into orbit in February 2016 bore the Korean characters 광명성, which translate in Korean into "bright star").
