2022, March 16 -- There was probably a failed
launch of a big rocket that day. Debris has fallen near Pyongyang. The failure
was associated with a huge detonation on midair.
It is possible that this failed launch was the first attempt to test a single-stage
HS-17+TR with 6 engines (3x2 combustors), that use as the first stage of the
Unha-X.
2019, Dec. 13 -- "Another cruicial test was successful
conducted at the Sohae SLG from 22.41 to 22.48 on December 13. The research
successes being registered by us in defence science one after another recently
will be applied to further bolstering up the reliable strategic nuclear deterrent
of the DPRK.”
A fther hidden static test(s) on December 13
between 21:41 to 21:48 on the Sohae SLG (?).
Comment: The presumed seven minutes burning time is nonsense. This
is only a period in which one or more short static tests have been carried
out.
2019, Dec. 07 -- "A very important test took
place at the Sohae SLG on the afternoon of December 7. The Academy of the
National Defence Scienc of the DPRK made a report on the successful test of
great significance to the Central Commitee of the Worker's Party."
A hidden static test of the Unha-X first
stage on the Sohae SLG (?)
Comment: .The engine test stand is untouched. The various small materials
(not a container, only a long shadow) are an indication of construction works
in the adjacent building during the past days. The old scrap in front of a
bunker has not been removed yet. Further presented "evidence" for use the
test stand are ridiculous.
NK does not have to test a new engine. They have tested everything they need,
even an engine with two combustors (HS-15). Now they only have to test an
interaction of several engines (3x2 = 6?) for a SLV. So I suspected a static
test on the launch pad. Why are there no current satellite photos of the Sohae
SLG.

Is that the first stage of the Unha-X for the static
test on the projection?
Named as HS-17, but then without a second stage.
The empty tip of the rocket overtop clearly a shorter transporter.

TLV: First stage of HS-17+ (3x2 engines)
