Significant Developments at North Korea’s Sohae Test Facility
By 38 North
29 January 2014
A 38 North exclusive with analysis by Nick Hansen.
Summary
Recent commercial satellite imagery indicates that North Korea may be preparing the Sohae Satellite Launching Station (“Tongchang-ri”) for a more robust rocket test program in the future involving larger space launch vehicles and road-mobile ballistic missiles able to attack targets in Northeast Asia and the United States.
The Sohae gantry tower has been undergoing significant modifications to enable it to launch a large rocket up to 25 percent longer than the Unha-3 space launch vehicle tested in 2012. It is unclear when that rocket will be ready. Because of construction, the pad will not be available for launches until March/April 2014 at the earliest.

road-mobile ballistic missiles able to attack targets in Northeast Asia and the United States.They'll need a very big road for that road-mobile missile that'll reach the US.
