Narrative:

I was working the dallas north satellite position when I noticed the data tag for air carrier X; an MD80 flashing at me. Since air carrier X was on final for runway 31R at dfw this would indicate to me that air carrier X was going around. Then local east 3 got in my ear via the landline and was handing air carrier X off to me when he suddenly stopped for a few seconds as he realized how close the air carrier X was getting to air carrier Y a E145 departing off of runway 35L. Air carrier X missed approach was via our procedures but still the two aircraft got extremely close to each other. I heard later that the pilot of air carrier Y even commented that it's a little close; and veered to the west away from the air carrier X. This was an unsafe situation! Recommendation; the reason I filled out this report was because of how close the two aircraft got to each other. Just because the procedure worked this time; doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. The aircraft were really close together!
