tion is evident at various installations in the
Support Base, in Launch Complexes A and B,
and in nearly all the instrumentation sites.
In addition, a possible instrumentation site
(Site 13) 5/ and two possible mobile instrumen-
tation sites within the Impact Area have been
identified.
SUPPORT BASE
The Support Base (Figure 2) appears es-
sentially unchanged from coverage 01
and all areas appear operational. Ex-
pansion, additions, or new installations have been
noted in the following areas and facilities: Main
Housing Complex; Test, Fabrication, Support,
and Warehouse Area; Airfield, HEN HOUSE An-
tenna; and Instrumentation Sites 1 and 2.
MAIN HOUSING COMPLEX
Pertinent details of changes in the major
components of this complex follow. Dimensions
of the new structures are given in Table 1.
Housing Facilities. Eleven additional dwell-
ing units have been erected in the New Housing
25X1D
25X1D
Area since The structures are
located in the southeast part of the area and ap-
pear completed (Figure 3). The heating plant in
the Original Housing Area appears operational.
Probable Range Headquarters/Complex
Control Area. Two additional structures have
been erected in the area since
(Figure 3). One is a new wing to the existing
administrative building at the base of the U-
shaped group of three administrative buildings,
and the other is a large building in the northwest
corner of the area. This building seems to be at
least as high as existing structures in the com-
plex and may be higher. It appears to be separ-
ated into two units at the top. External con-
struction apparently is complete.

TEST, FABRICATION, SUPPORT,
AND WAREHOUSE AREA
No change is evident in the Test, Fabrica-
tion, and Support Facilities. In the Warehouse
Facility, a new rail siding has been added to the
spur line from the Mointy-Chu rail line. The new
siding is located just to the east of the existing
sidings. A 1,000-foot section of the facility's
eastern fence line has been extended approxi-
mately 200 feet farther east; the new rail siding
enters the facility from the north and continues
approximately 500 feet into this new area. Two
new probable warehouses appear to be under con-
struction on the west side of the new siding and
four possible warehouse-type structures are
apparently under construction on the east side of
the new siding (Figure 4).
AIRFIELD AND NEARBY FACILITIES
An M-type storage area 6/ is now located
approximately 1,700 feet north of the taxiway/
parking apron (Figure 4). This area may be
operational, although a definite road pattern is
not present on the A GCI
site consisting of at least three radars--located
east of the M-type storage area--has also been
added to the airfield. In addition, the previously
reported cleared area at the southwest edge of
the taxiway/parking apron extension has been
identified as a firing-in butt.

POSSIBLE STORAGE AREA
A possible storage area, under construction,
is located approximately 1.5 nm southwest of the
microwave station. The area is somewhat
similar in appearance to the storage/support
facilities related to each of the four deployed
SA-2 SAM sites at the center. First observed
under construction in the Possible
Storage Area now consists of a road-served
clearing, 960 by 270 feet, containing three pos-
sible storage buildings (Figure 5). The build-
ings--approximately 150 by 60 feet, 120 by 60
feet, and 60 by 50 feet- -appear to consist of walls
only. The area does not appear to be fenced.
HEN HOUSE ANTENNA
25X1D
The antenna structure, the adjoining control
building, and the unidentified fenced site in the
southwest corner of the area appear unchanged.
Some changes have been noted in the support
structures. The heating plant has been enlarged,
several small structures have been added im-
mediately southwest of the heating plant, and two
structures have been erected in the area pre-
viously occupied by the batch plant. In addition,
an earth scar or ditch- -extending approximately
2,000 feet to the northwest--has been noted on
photography north of the security fence
of the antenna building. This scar or ditch ter-

cavation which contains a possible structure. At
the southern end of the scar or ditch is a possible
buried tank, located among the support buildings
of the HEN HOUSE Antenna.
A newly identified possible instrumentation
site is located approximately one nm south-
southwest of the HEN HOUSE Antenna. It con-
sists of a road-served area containing three
small possible buildings and an adjacent scarred
area approximately 400 feet in diameter.
HEN ROOST ANTENNAS
No new facilities have been added to the HEN
ROOST Antennas and none
appear to be under construction. However, a re-
6
evaluation of of HEN
ROOST SOUTH discloses a ground clearing on the
west side of the antenna extending for approxi-
mately 1,400 feet. The width of the clearing--
approximately 800 feet--equals the combined
width of the antenna and the control building. In-
dications of this activity were present on photog-
raphy of The concrete structure
underneath HEN ROOST SOUTH appears to have
a slight curvature, suggesting a possible curva-
ture to the reflector screen.

area and at least 3 in the control area (Figure
6). The interferometer appears to be undergoing
reconstruction. The crossarms are not visible
on but an increase in the
number of small plowed or scarred patches in
the mounded area of the interferometer is
apparent.
Approximately 1,200 feet southwest of the
interferometer and near the control area is a
small, new, possible building with a vehicular
track or scarred pattern. This pattern suggests
the possible building is more closely associated
with the control area than with the interfero-
meter. This possible building is located adjacent
to the ditch or possible cable line which was
visible on
Throughout the control area are ditching,
vehicular tracks, and other activity associated
with expansion or relocation of existing facili-
25X1D
ties. The rhombic antenna areas appear un-
changed and do not seem to be involved in the
reconstruction.
Three or four new buildings have been
erected in an "L" configuration southwest of the
control area on the edge of a 450-foot circular
mound. No function can be ascribed to these
buildings at this time.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 2
Three structures arranged in a pattern
similar to the T-shaped configurations at In-
strumentation Site 10, Possible Instrumentation
Site 13, and Launch Complex B have been added
to the radar operations area of Instrumentation
Site 2 (Figure 7). 5/ A reexamination of earlier
photography of has disclosed the
outlines of two of these buildings, measuring 150

commenced by that time. The third, larger
building is still under construction. Another
150-foot-square building, apparently complete,
has been erected north of the previously reported
T-shaped building.

cations Site 3.
SA-2 SAM SITES
The four deployed SA-2 SAM sites--two in
the Support Base and one each at Launch Com-
plexes A and B--appear complete and opera-
tional. Each site has a probable storage/sup-
port facility consisting of one large revetted
building and four smaller buildings located adja-
cent to it.
LAUNCH COMPLEX A
Only changes within the Headquarters and
Administrative Area will be discussed in this
report. A detailed description of the launch and
missile storage and checkout facilities at Launch
Complex A appears in NPIC/R-135/62, Anti-
25X1D missile Missile Activity in the USSR, published
HEADQUARTERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE AREA
At least 14 duplex or single housing units, a
community building, and two or three long, sin-
gle-story, gable-roofed buildings have been
added to the housing section (Figure 8). An addi-
tional warehouse and nine small buildings have
been added to the warehouse section. Most of the
previously reported "zero-height"storage build-
LAUNCH AREA
ings were not discernible because of the small
scale of the latest photography. Six barracks,
two possible barracks under construction, and
two small buildings have been added to the pos-
sible electronics site.
Approximately one nm southeast of the
Launch Area and immediately north of the pos-
sible electronics site is an irregularly shaped
dark stain or shadow. This area--including two
or three buildings in the vicinity--was visible on
earlier photography, but could not be identified.
The appearance on photography ofilof a
ground scar or conduit leading from the north
edge of the possible electronics site to the area
suggests that it is possibly a waste-disposal
area.
LAUNCH COMPLEX B
The Launch Area shows the most significant
changes. Three buildings aligned inn "T" shape
have been added to this area (Figure 9). This
construction is similar to facilities at Instru-
Approved FoirelPas
8
mentation Sites 2 and 10 and Possible Instru-
mentation Site 13. Further analysis of photog-
raphy NM= has revealed scarring in this
area, possibly indicating that construction had
commenced on these buildings at that time. In
addition, two irregularly shaped cleared areas

are related to these buildings by heavy vehicle
track activity. No details of the activity at these
cleared areas are discernible.
Facility A. The general area of this facility
appears unchanged. The object in the center of
the rectangular launch pad is of such vague
proportions as to preclude detailed interpre-
tation.
Facility B. Pad B-1 remains the same
(Figure 10). Pad B-2, which was seen through
cloud cover and on oblique photography in
now appears to be similar to B-1 in size
only. No depth is apparent. An object appears
on Pad B-2 at the same relative radial point as
on Pad B-1. The height of the object cannot be
determined because of the small scale of the
photography. Located midway between Pads
B-1 and B-2 and slightly north of them is a newly
identified probable bunker about 100 feet square.
Launch Instrumentation Sites. There are no
apparent changes in the four instrumentation
sites--B-1, B-2, B-3, and B-4--serving the
Launch Area of Launch Complex B.
SUPPORT AREA
Changes within the Support Area (Figure 11)
include an expansion of housing facilities and
the addition of a possible shop and several other
utility buildings. These changes have been
determined from photography and a re-
examination of The
components of the Support Area which contain
changes are discussed below.
Probable Storage, Assembly, and Checkout
Facility Under Construction (Facility A). This
area either remains under construction or has
been abandoned. The well-defined loop road
pattern--a major feature of the area--is no
longer visible on photography. There
is no apparent change in previously identified
NPIC/R-61/63
structures. A possible coal pile located adja-
cent to the large building on the main access
road suggests that this building may be a heating
plant. A probable bunker has been identified in
the southwest corner of the facility. Further
analysis of earlier photograph
has disclosed the presence of one large and three 25X1 D
small buildings along the main access road. The
previously reported building under construction
in the vicinity of the two small bunkers appeared
complete photography.
One additional building adjacent to the previously
identified building north of the bunkers was
identified on this earlier photography.
Motor Pools (Facilities B andJ). These two
motor pools are no longer visible.
Housing Facility (Facility C). Additions to
this facility consist of two hip-roofed buildings,
measuring approximately 140 by 60 feet, located
just east of the previously reported buildings
along the main access road. The buildings prob-
ably have two stories. Further analysis of
photography reveals that one of
these buildings was complete at that time. Three 25X1 D
buildings, measuring approximately 90 by 40
feet, located south of the junction of the main
access road and the road to the Launch Area and
five other probable buildings have been identified
on . All of these buildings are25X1 D
probably single-story structures.
Possible Technical and Laboratory Facility
(Facility E). The unidentified structure under 25x1D
construction -iow appears complete
and may have been completed as early as De-
The building, measuring approxi-25x1 D
mately 200 by 90 feet, is probably a shop.
Housing Facility (Facility F). Three or four
small utility buildings have been added to this
area.

heavy scarring, possibly indicating expansion or
removal of existing buildings. No new buildings
have been added and the area may now contain
fewer structures than before.
OTHER FACILITIES
Approximately 1.2 nm southwest of the Sup-
port Area is a newly identified possible micro-
wave station.
RANGE INSTRUMENTATION SITES
Of the ten instrumentation sites (Sites 3-12)
which form a generally rectangular pattern
around the Impact Area, nine now have inter-
ferometers. Site 3 is the latest site to acquire
this type of instrumentation. All of the sites re-
main generally the same as previously reported,
with varying modifications. Some of the items
described below are not new but have been seen
for the first time on good photography. Selected
distance and bearing data on interferometer sites
are given in Table 2.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 3
Instrumentation Site 3 (Figure 12) is the
second site of the 75-nm equilateral triangle
formed by Sites 3, 6, and 10 to have both an in- 25X1D
terferometer and a 110-foot dome. The inter-
ferometer, begun subsequent to the
coverage, is located approximately 3,700 feet
west-southwest of the 110-foot dome and appears
to be in a late stage of construction. The cross-
arms extend to the edge of the circular road. A

bunker is located on the north side of the inter-
section of the crossarms and a possible second
bunker is located south of the interferometer. In
addition, a new building, approximately 100 by 55
feet, has been constructed since
west of the two large operational buildings and in
line with them. A circular area about 380 feet
in diameter containing one or two buildings is
located approximately 2,300 feet west-northwest
of the 110-foot dome. This circular area was
observed on ; however, the
buildings were not visible. A possible radar
site--also observed on
located approximately 2,000 feet east-southeast
of the 110-foot dome.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 4
The interferometer crossarms have been
extended to the edge of the circular road (Figure
13). Three or four buildings have been added to
the support area and an east-west airstrip has
been constructed to the east of the support area.
A microwave station is now located southwest of

the site. The airstrip and the microwave station
were first observed photography but
were not positively identified at that time.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 5
25X1D
Construction continues on the interferom-
eter. Three legs of the crossarms extending to
the circular road and a possible bunker adjacent
to the intersection of the crossarms are now
visible. A possible microwave station is located
on the high ground south of the support area.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 6
25X1D
Photography provides the first
cloud-free coverage of this site to date (Figure
14), revealing several items of primary interest.
While the support area is comparable to those at
Sites 3 and 10--which together with Site 6 form
the 75-nm equilateral triangle--the operations
area contains facilities not found at Sites 3 and
10. One of these is a second 250- by 60-foot
structure with an adjacent 50-foot dome located
northeast of the 110-foot dome. Although scar-

meter, the crossarms are not discernible. A
possible microwave station is located between
Instrumentation Sites 6 and 7 at 46-28N 71-12E.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 7
An additional 20-foot dome is now visible,
raising to four the total of such structures at
this site. The legs of the interferometer have
been extended to the edge of the circular road
and a possible airstrip is under construction
approximately 2.4 nm east-southeast of the
interferometer.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 8
Three 20-foot domed structures- -located on
the high ground northwest of the interfero-
meter--and a large cleared area southwest of

arms now extend to the circular road and scar-
ring is now evident around the outer edges of
this road.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 9
No apparent change is evident, but the poor
quality of the photography precludes a detailed
interpretation.
INSTRUMENTATION SITE 10
The previously reported 110-foot wall has
been covered by a dome. Each of the sites com-
prising the 75-nm equilateral triangle--Sites 3,
25X1D
6, and 10--now has a similar facility. The sup-
port area of the site has not changed since
however, an area of unidentified activity
is located east of the support area, across the
main road (Figure 15). Located south of the 110-
foot dome is a facility similar in appearance to
those at Site 2 and Possible Site 13 and Launch
Complex B. The 350- by 200-foot structure and
the associated 150-foot-square structures ap-

INSTRUMENTATION SITE 12
The previously reported area of ground
scarring north of the housing and support area
has now been identified as an airstrip. Located
at the southern edge of the housing and support
area are six 20-foot domed structures, one more

MOBILE TERMINAL RANGE
(IMPACT) INSTRUMENTATION
Two newly identified possible mobile in-
strumentation sites are located within the peri-
meter road of the Impact Area. One mobile site
is located southeast of Instrumentation Site 7 at
46-35N 71-00E. The other mobile site is located
south of Instrumentation Site 9 at 46-40N 71-45E.
Identification of these sites is based on the
road pattern which ties each site to known in-
strumentation sites and the physical location of
the sites within the perimeter road of the Impact
Area. Three possible vehicles are visible at
the site southeast of Instrumentation Site 7 and
two possible vehicles are visible at the site south
of Instrumentation Site 9.
