H.E.
Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of
Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK and supreme
commander of the Korean People's Army, watched the ground jet test of
Korean-style high-thrust engine newly developed by the Academy of the National
Defence Science.
After
being told about the production of the new-type high-thrust engine, he
personally visited the Sohae Satellite Launching Ground at dawn to learn in
detail about the technical specifications of the engine and preparations for
the test and guided it.
The
test was conducted to confirm the overall technical indices of the engine such
as features of thrust power in the combustion chamber, accurate movement of
turbine pump, control system and various valves and their structural safety and
reliability.
He
mounted an observation post and gave an order to start the test.
The
results of the test confirmed the stable maintenance of technical indices of
all systems such as starting and stopping features of a new-type high-thrust
engine of Korean style designed and manufactured by the defence scientists and
technicians by their own efforts and with indigenous technology, the features
of the thrust power in the combustion chamber, turbine pump, control systems in
the whole course of engine operation after accurately reaching the expected
values, and the perfect guarantee of their structural reliability.
He
noted that the success made in the current test marked a great event of
historic significance as it declared a new birth of the Juche-based rocket
industry which has radically turned into a development-and creation-oriented
industry both in name and in reality by completely doing away with dogmatism,
conservatism and formalism left in the field of rocket industry and the
dependence on the technology of other countries.
He
emphasized that the whole world will soon witness what eventful significance
the great victory won today carries.
The
development and completion of a new-type high-thrust engine would help
consolidate the scientific and technological foundation to match the
world-level satellite delivery capability in the field of outer space
development, he noted, adding with pleasure that today when a great leaping
forward has been made in the development of the rocket industry is the day to
be always remembered, a historic day which can be called "March 18
revolution".
He
said that the field of munitions industry made a series of unprecedented
successes this year as it did last year, instilling dynamism into the grand
revolutionary advance of all the service personnel and people. Then he had a
significant photo session with the officials, scientists and technicians in the
field of defence science who took part in the test.
He
was accompanied by Ri Pyong Chol, Kim Jong Sik and other leading officials of
the C.C. the WPK and scientists and technicians in the field of rocket
research.
