North Korea ready for rocket launch
North Korean space officials said today that all assembly and preparations for a planned satellite launch have been completed, while denying it is a cover for a missile test.
Space officials told reporters at a news conference in Pyongyang that the launch of the three-stage rocket is on schedule to happen sometime between April 12 and 16 as part of centennial birthday commemorations for late president Kim Il Sung, the country’s founder.
