Range Radar Telemetry Tracking Support Facilities
Near by on the left side are the communications huts with the remnants of four of the range tracking telemetry antenna base pads. This adjunct communications tracking facility is up range from the normal direction of launch being utilized and is partially abandoned from its original configuration. It is assumed that the facility hardware has been moved down range for tracking utilization or to other in country along North Korea ’s east coast range on the Sea of Japan. There are two support trailer like buildings for human operation that seem to utilize a US similar SCR-584 class radar communications tracking telemetry dish on top of them.
