[FPSPACE] Saturday 14 April launch for Unha-3?

[Morris Jones]

>From Yonhap:
  A South Korean official said North Korea could launch the rocket at any date, noting a key factor wil be the weather conditions around the launch pad in the country's northwest.   Skies will be cloudy with weak winds near the launch site until Sunday and rains are expected Monday, said Cho Nam-san, an analyst of Korea Meteorological Administration.   Many analysts believe the lift-off could come Saturday on the eve of the centennial birth celebrations of the North's late founder Kim Il-sung, the grandfather of current leader Kim Jong-un.   Paek Chang-ho, head of the satellite control center of the North's Korean Committee of Space Technology, has said the exact timing of the launch will be decided by his superiors, the Reuters news agency reported Wednesday.

This report casts doubt on weather as a reason for avoiding a launch today.
