CHOLSAN COUNTY, NORTH KOREA - APRIL 8: North Korea's Unha-3 rocket is being prepared for takeoff at the Sohae Satellite Launching Station northwest of Pyongyang April 8, 2012 in Cholsan County, North Phyongan Province, North Korea. The launch of the long-range rocket later mounted with an artificial satellite was a failure in this test in April 2012 but was a success in a second attempt in December 2012. The U.N. Security Council has banned North Korea from launching long-range rockets, which have similar technology to missiles. (Photo by Lee Hee-Young/Getty Images)
