By March 6, everything had been closed up. Unless this thing has been torn up in the last 9 months without anyone noticing, the structure remains unchanged. Barring this, I assert that this stand could not have mounted a solid motor vertically.

Sorry, that’s @38NorthNK .

No further construction at the test stand has been reported from March.

However, there was an addition of what looks like office/lab space at the horizontal assembly facility, begun before January, roofed over May 2019. (38north.org/2019/05/sohae0…)

Dismantling began around July 2018, and for a time it was believed that the entire stand would be demolished (from 38north.org/2018/07/sohae0…)
