Satellite images, taken by Planet Labs Inc. of San Francisco and analyzed by researchers at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in Monterrey, show the construction of Pyongyang at the Chemical Material Institute, Researchers David Schmerler, associate researcher at MIIS, said the Chemical Material Institute is known to manufacture carbon composite parts for solid fuel missiles such as nozzles, cells and rocket noses used in reentry vehicles.
"The Chemical Materials Institute seems to have a unique function, which is to pump parts for its missile program," Schmerler said.
Kim was shown watching a description of a factory artist in August 2017, after North Korea tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles. That same month, he also threatened the US territory of Guam.
The majority of the factory was built in May, after Kim's summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in but before Kim meets Trump, said Jeffrey Lewis, director of the non-profit program proliferation from East Asia to MIIS. published last year by the North Korean state media showing Kim inspecting the installation of an artist.

Solid fuel missiles have significant advantages over their liquid fuel counterparts because they are easier to store and move because solid fuels are less volatile than liquids . .
Long-range ballistic missiles can be used to deliver a miniaturized nuclear warhead thousands of kilometers away.
The North Korean missiles tested in 2017 with intercontinental range were liquid fuel missiles, but Pyongyang successfully tested a solid fuel reactor. missile would have a range of between 1,200 and 2,000 kilometers.
In her annual New Year speech, Kim also ordered the ballistic missile and nuclear weapons research sectors to mass-produce.
Since then, the young North Korean leader has made diplomatic representations, met with world leaders and brandished his image as a world statesman.
"Kim never offered to disarm … He armed and not disarmed.
"It can be expected that the North's nuclear until Pyongyang issued specific orders, "he added.
