    He was once again accompanied by his daughter Ju-ae.

    According to state media, Kim visited the National Aerospace Development Administration to check the final stage of preparation for the reconnaissance satellite. 
    He made his last visit there a month ago, when Pyongyang claimed the satellite had passed some of the final tests.
    The official [North] Korean Central News Agency said the project was at the "binding stage," which apparently means it is almost ready for launch.
