Public viewing at ADD offshore platform, South Korea
Public viewing: None or restricted No public viewing area; the site is restricted or closed to spectators. Watch the official stream.
This is a Korean military test platform at sea. We found no public viewing and no published position, and the safe, legal way to watch is the official stream if one is provided. This label is our inference from the platform's military role and offshore setting.
- The Agency for Defense Development (ADD) runs this offshore launch platform for its solid-fuel small-satellite launcher (Mir, earlier called GYUB), according to a launch-facility database and Wikipedia.
- A launch at sea is controlled by maritime and airspace restrictions, and we found no public viewing programme or announcements.
- Our label of 'none or restricted' is an inference, not an official statement. If ADD or local authorities publish a viewing arrangement we will add it.
