N. Korean membership of Intl’ Astronautical Federation ‘revoked’

North Korean membership of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), a Paris-based space advocacy organization, was "revoked" on Friday, a source familiar with decision-making at the body told NK News.

The u-turn on membership came less than a week after North Korean state space agency the National Aerospace Development Administration (NADA) was controversially approved to join the IAF.
