Explaining that the cause of the relevant accident is not a big problem in aspect of the reliability of cascade engines and the system, the NADA expressed the stand that it would conduct the third reconnaissance satellite launch in October after thoroughly probing the reason and taking measures.
https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20231103006300315?section=national/defenseQuoteSEOUL, Nov. 3 (Yonhap) -- Defense Minister Shin Won-sik said Friday that North Korea may have delayed its plan to make a third attempt to launch a spy satellite to fix technological glitches in the third-stage system with Russian assistance. North Korea made two botched attempts to put a reconnaissance satellite into orbit in May and August and vowed to try again in October, but it failed to meet its self-imposed deadline. The first attempt failed due to problems in the booster, while Pyongyang's state media blamed the second flight's failure on a flawed third-stage emergency blasting system.Shin weighed the possibility of Pyongyang's making a third attempt in late November to reflect technological guidance from Russia following the rare summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin in September. "North Korea could try again on its own even if it fails, but the launch may have been delayed as Russia provided specific technical guidance (for the satellite). We place more emphasis on the latter," Shin said during his first meeting with reporters since taking office last month."There is a possibility of (North Korea's satellite launch) in around late November. We will continue to monitor the situation," he added.In response to Pyongyang's efforts to put its first spy satellite into space, Shin vowed to boost the South Korean military's surveillance capability to fend off North Korea's advancing missile and nuclear threat.He disclosed the South Korean military's plan to launch its first indigenous reconnaissance satellite on Falcon 9, U.S. aerospace company SpaceX's two-stage rocket, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Nov. 30, as well as a plan to launch a homegrown solid propellant rocket later this year.South Korea has condemned Pyongyang's satellite launch as a provocation and violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions banning its use of ballistic missile technology.

NOTAMs are out for the launch on 2023 Nov 22 through Nov 30, local time.
Navigational Warnings have appeared that suggest a new #NorthKorean satellite #launch attempt.Window starts tomorrow 15:00 UTC.Areas are same as earlier this year@ArmsControlWonk @wslafoy @nukestrat @planet4589 @38NorthNK @nknewsorg @nktpnd
3/xThis is a map with the areas from the Navigational Warning.Same locations as in August and May (when the launches failed): fairing (A) and first stage (B) to southwest, second stage splashdown (c) more to the east east of the Philippines.

The Pentagon’s deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh called the launch a “destabilizing action” and said the U.S. was still assessing hours after the launch whether it was successful with help from South Korea and Japan.
CelesTrak has GP data for 2 objects from the launch (2023-179) of Wangli-1 atop a Chollima-1 rocket from Sohae Satellite Launching Station on Nov 22 at 1342 UTC: rfa.org/english/news/k…. Data for the launch can be found at: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/table.php?INTDES=2023-179
Here is my rough first cut at the trajectories of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd stages, with direction change for each stage to avoid overflying China
Looks like the first stage exploded (or was detonated?) after stage sep.Source: https://archive.allsky.tv/PUB/ALLSKY7_NK_ROCKET_2023_11_21.mp4H/T Daniel Fischer & Marco Langbroek
