Satellite Launching Site In Cholsan, NK, Seen Ready To Blast-Off Rocket Soon

This Monday Nov. 26, 2012 satellite image provided by DigitalGlobe and annotated by 38 North, the website of the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, shows the Sohae Satellite Launch Station in Cholsan County, North Pyongan Province, North Korea. According to analysis done for 38 North, North Korea has moved two sections of a long-range rocket at the site in preparation for a launch that would alarm both its adversaries and lone ally China. SAIS says recent activity at the Sohae site suggests it could be ready to blast-off a three-stage rocket by the end of the first week in December. <AP Photo/DigitalGlobe via 38 North>
