Sohae Satellite Launching Station

The Sohae Satellite Launching Station, located in North Korea, is a facility used to launch rockets and satellites into space. It features a large, transfer-apt structure called a launch pad, and infrastructure to support missile and satellite launches, including laboratories and control centers. The site is designed for testing and launching rockets, primarily for scientific, technological, and military purposes. While some parts resemble space launch facilities in other countries, North Korea’s use of the station is closely watched internationally due to concerns over missile development and regional security.
