Experts say the recovery of the debris would be very useful for South Korea.

But the rocket crashed into the sea"after losing thrust due to the abnormal starting of the second-stage engine after the separation of the first stage during the normal flight," it said. Seoul, Tokyo and Washington all slammed the launch, which they said violated a raft of UN resolutions barring Pyongyang from any tests using ballistic missile technology.
Prior to Wednesday's launch, Pyongyang had launched five satellites since 1998, three of which failed immediately and two of which appeared to have been put into orbit -- though signals from those launches have never been independently detected, indicating they may have malfunctioned.
