Malligyong 1 (만리경-1), also transcribed Manligyeong 1, was the first North Korean reconnaisance satellite.

The launch vehicle was called Chollima-1 (천리마-1). It has been speculated, that this launch vehicle was based on the Hwasong-15 ICBM or Hwasong-17 ICBM.

The launch took place on 30 May 2023, but did not reach orbit when the second stage failed to ignite. A second launch on 23 August 2023 also failed.
