1942 - First successful launch of A4_rocket from Test Stand VII at Peenemünde, Germany. The rocket flew 147 kilometres wide and reached a height of 84.5 kilometres and was therefore the first man-made object reaching space.
On October3, 2007, the Six Parties – the United States, China, Japan, Russia, the DPRK, and the ROK – agreed on “Second-Phase Actions for Implementation of the Joint Statement.”
The United States welcomes the October3 agreement, which outlines a roadmap for a declaration of the DPRK’s nuclear programs and disablement of its core nuclear facilities at Yongbyon by the end of the year.
· The October3 agreement builds on the February 13 agreement on “Initial Actions for the Implementation of the Joint Statement,” pursuant to which the DPRK in July shut down and sealed the Yongbyon nuclear facility and invited back the IAEA to verify and monitor these activities.
