Hi Luc,

What we know about the payload:

Data in UHF band Video in X band

and AP at the weekend reported the satellite will also play North Korean revolutionary music. A subsequent MSNBC report said reception details would be provided at the time of the launch, although I don't hold out hope for an exact frequency. Last time they said songs were being played "at 470MHz."

KCNA, April 5, 2009

...

It is sending to the earth the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "Song of General Kim Jong Il" and measured information at 470 MHz.<<

I presume that meant the last satellite was alternating songs and telemetry on the same frequency.
