In this image made from KRT video, and made available for the first time Tuesday April 7, 2009, showing the launch of a missile in Musudan-ri, North Korea on Sunday, April 5, 2009. North Korea may have rushed its rocket launch in an effort to beat rival South Korea into space and suffered a technical failure, a security analyst said Tuesday. North Korea launched Sunday what it claims was a satellite that successfully entered orbit around the earth, defying international warnings that the move would violate U.N. resolutions and invite further censure.
