The US and South Korea are seeking fresh sanctions after its latest nuclear test.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said the UN needed to "send the North Koreans a swift, firm message".
But the secretive state has said it has a right to continue its space programme by launching rockets, despite the staunch opposition.
South Korea told its bitter rivals they will pay a “severe price” if it continues its long-range missile testing.
North Korea informed the International Maritime Organisation of its plans on Tuesday.
A spokeswoman from the IMO said: "We have received information from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea regarding the launch of an earth observation satellite 'Kwangmyongsong' between 8-25 February.”
The satellite would be able to carry a long-range rocket, according to officials.
