FIG-1 SIMFEROPOL SPACE TRACKING AND COMMUNICATIONS CENTER, USSR
IA P 0116RI
The Simferopol Space Tracking and Communication Center is located on the Crimean
Peninsula at 45-03N 033-53E, eleven nautical miles northwest of the city of Simferopol
(Figure 1).
The Center has undergone considerable expansion since it was first observed on
photography and currently its capabilities for space tracking and telemetry collection
are being substantially increased. When initially observed on photography in

It was of generally poor quality, however it is adequate as a base for the chronological
development of the Center.
In this study, the chronological history of the facility has been divided into
three periods of time using Omissions. The following four missions
exhibit the greatest amount of change in the installation and provide the best
photographic quality for each time period.
For the sake of clarity, the Center has been analyzed by section, as designated
on the four line drawings (Figures 3-6). Each section reflects changes or additions
detected on the three up-dating missions.
The sections, and the order in which they appear in the text, are as follows:
1. Radio Telescope Site
2. FLIM FLAN Station
3. Microwave Facility
4. High Frequency Communications Facility
5. Center Support Area
6. Probable Satellite Telemetry Collection Site
7. Interferometer Site
All measurements have been made by the NPIC/Technical Intelligence Division and
are considered to be accurate within ? 5 feet or ? 5 percent (whichever is greater)
for horizontal, and ? 5 feet or ? 10 percent (whichever is greater) for vertical
measurements. All measurements have been obtained from Q The building
and rhombic antenna measurements are reflected in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and
are keyed to numbers and letters appearing in Figures 3-6. All other measurements
will be discussed in the text and/or indicated on the graphics.

RADIO TELESCOPE SITE
The Radio Telescope Site was observed on poor quality stereoscopic photography
in At that time, activity was evident at the site but
construction status could no be precisely determined. The entire site was under con-
struction with a large control building and three smaller buildings present (Figure 3,
Items 1, 2, 3, and 5). Also, an object was observed at the location of the radio
telescope (Figure 3, Item A), but the subsequently identified 100-foot dish was not
identifiable at this time. The poor quality of the photography precluded a more
detailed description of the site.
the site was again observed on poor quality stereo-
scopic photography. The four buildings, observed under construction in
were probably complete. In addition, the 100-foot dish appears to
be complete or in a late stage of construction. Portions of the dish feed structure
are vaguely discernible. Also, a fifth support-type building is present on this
coverage (Figure 4, Item 6). No other changes or additions are discernible due to poor
image quality and the small scale of photography.
The Radio Telesco e i was covered by large scale, good quality hotography
in The better ground resolution of this photography allows a
more detailed description of previously reported components of the site, as well as those
items newly identified (Figure 5), The 100-foot dish can clearly be seen in a stowed
position with the feed mounted on a four-legged structure. A structural crane
can be
seen bracing the dish. Upon re-examination of the 0 Photography, the outline
of the crane can be seen on the concrete pad in the same position as on this coverage.
Also, this coverage confirms that the five previously mentioned buildings in the area
are externally completed and that one other support-type building has been constructed
(Figure 5, Item Li).

FIG-3 SIMFEROPOL SPACE TRACKING AND COMMUNICATIONS CENTER, USSR
The entire Radio Telescope Site is separately secured within the overall Center
security fencing. A guard house is at the entrance gate and three guard towers are
positioned at or near the corners of the fence. Approximately six vehicles are observed
within the fenced area on this mission. The site is connected by cable scar to the
Microwave Facility and to the two calibration towers located to the south. At least
seven small unidentified structures or pieces of equipment are located within the
fenced area. Their small size precludes identification and they are not listed in
Table 1 as permanent structures.

minor changes since the However, they are not
portrayed on the line drawing Figure 6 as they add nothing of significance to this
chronology.
These changes include the removal of the structural crane from the concrete pad at
the radio telescope and the planting of trees and other vegetation. Overall, the entire
site has a 11cleanerl} appearance, probably indicating the completion of major construc-
tion activities. Approximately eight vehicles/vans are observed at the site.

building (Figure 4, Items 11-13). It was evident that both tracking buildings were
structurally complete, however, the antenna and radome on the easternmost building
was not present. The westernmost building has a completed dome on it approximately
55 feet in diameter. This size dome normally houses a dish approximately 25 feet in
diameter. A smaller building is located between the two tracking buildings and appears
to be cable connected to each of the buildings. A construction crane is also located
adjacent to the easternmost tracking building, indicating continuing construction
activity at this location. A cooling pond is located immediately north of the
westernmost tracking building, but there is no visible evidence to indicate a direct
association with the FLIM FLAM station. In addition, a cable scar extends westward
from the westernmost tracking building to a small control building. An unidentified
object adjacent to the small building has subsequently been identified as a VHF/UHE
whip antenna (Figure 5, Item 1)-i-). Two large vans and two smaller vehicles are parked
on a hardstand near the tracking buildings.

The tower, identified as a microwave tower in a previous report (NPIC/R-293/64),
is not a microwave tower but a five-helix telemetry collection array, mounted on a
pedestal. This was determined from subsequent photography used in conjunction
with ground photography (Figure 7). At this time, a microwave tower is
not observed within this facility.
Two probable DRUM HEAD antennas are located east and west of the control building,
oriented 240 degrees and degrees respectively. These are parabolic reflectors,
approximately 40 feet in width, elevated on earth mounds and can probably be rotated
in both azimuth and elevation. Their identification as DRUM HEAD radar is based
primarily on 1963 ground photography.
Also present are two small buildings (Figure 5, Items 16 and 17) and a partially
filled cooling pond. A ground scar is visible, leading from the vicinity of the control
building to the Radio Telescope Site.
the probable location of a microwave tower was

observed (Figure 6). However, the uncertainty of the precise location plus the inherent
small size of the tower prevents a measurement of its height. The Microwave Tower is
definitely visible on ground photography (Figure 7), with two small parabolic reflectors
on top of the tower. Although reflector azimuths could not be precisely determined,
their general orientation appears to be toward the Yevpatoriya Deep Space Tracking and
Communications Center located approximately 28 nautical miles to the northwest. A
calibration tower, 160 feet high, has been constructed north of the large control
building. It is almost identical to one of the two calibration towers located outside
the Center, south of the Radio Telescope Site. Adjacent to this new tower is a small
building (Figure 6, Item 18).
The two probable DRUM HEAD radars have been removed from the mounds. A concrete
pad and an object resembling a pedestal have been constructed on the westernmost
mound. It appears very similar to the pedestal supporting the five-helix array adjacent
to the large control building. The area has been landscaped and numerous trees are
discernible around the control building. Additional earth scars are observed between
the large control building and the U-shaped building at the Radio Telescope Site.

The first good coverage of the installation was in The
two large rhombic antennas (Figure 5, Items B and c) were identified at that time in
NPIC R-293/64, and are paired for day/night operation. But, due to an incomplete rhombic
signature, the subsequently identified nine rhombic antennas (Items D-L) were mis-
identified as fishbone receiving antennas. A control building (Item 19) is located
TOP SECRET

at the focal point of a fan formed by the nine small rhombic antennas. This control
building is separately secured by a fence. There are no cooling facilities discernible,
however a cooling pond is located nearby at the FLIM FLAM station and, although no
connection is visible, it could be used by both facilities.
I I provided much better photography of this facility
than a o the precee ing mission. At this time, the nine small
rhombic antennas were readily discernible (Figure 6, Items D-L). A dissipation/feeder
line extends along the entire length of the major axis of each rhombic, in contrast
to the usual distance of only one-half the length of an end-fed rhombic antenna.

It should be noted that, although the orientation of the rhombic antennas are

This area is the largest single entity at the Center. A lengthy narrative
development is not provided as this area can best be studied by using the four
line drawings (Figures 3-6) in conjunction with Table 1. These adequately present
the evolution of the support area within the previously stated time limitations.

revealed several newly identified items at this site. Two
buildings (Figure , Items 121 and 123) are new since and
two 8-helix arrays and two 14-helix arrays are newly identified. These arrays are
located on a flat, rectangular base, mounted on a masonry pedestal.
The northern and eastern walls around the site appear to be complete.
In I two new buildings were identified (Figure 6, Items 116 and 122).
No other new facilities were observed within the walled area. An area of recent
development, probably the most significant new activity identified at the Center, is
located adjacent to and outside of the eastern wall. This construction activity
consists of a high masonry control building or pedestal, several structural panels for a
large radio telescope, a structural crane identical to the one previously seen at the
Radio Telescope Site in and several unidentified items,
probably some type of construction materials. This activity is situated on a concrete
pad approximately 310 by 175 feet and is new since Footings
for the structural crane can be discerned on that coverage. Lflis radio telescope will
probably be at least as large as the existing one previously described.
INTERFEROMETER SITE
The interferometer was not present in
It was observed under construction in 0 At that time, the earthen founda-
tions for the baselines were under construction as was a building near the center of the
baselines (Figure 5, Item 129). This building is being constructed below the ground level
and will eventually be buried. A fence around the site is partially complete.
In the baselines appear to be basically complete,
however, no antenna elements were observed (Figure 6). The building has been
completely buried and the fence now completely encloses the site. Construction
appears to have progressed very slowly on this interferometer when compared to
similar installations elsewhere in the USSR.
MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITY
One of the most significant items in the current expansion at the Center is the
construction of two 16-helix antennas since (Figure 6, near Items 8 and 116).
One of these antennas was observed on June 1965 ground photography (Figure 7). However,
neither the ground photography nor the coverage furnished sufficient information
to allow a precise measurement of the individual helices comprising the antenna system.
These two antennas are located on flat, rectangular 30 by 25 feet "beds}', and are

adjacent to almost identical control buildings (Figure 6, Buildings 8 and 116). On
the opposite side of each control building is located a probable pedestal mount for
an additional antenna.
Each of these new 16-helix antennas is located near a radio telescope site, one
near the older 100-foot dish and one near the radio telescope under construction
adjacent to the Probable Satellite Telemetry Collection Site. No direct connection to
these radio telescope sites can be identified at this time other than proximity.
