This photog- raphy also has made it possible to acquire more- reliable mensuration. The most significant new development is the installation of rings on the three triad buildings at SAM Site E24-1 and on two of the triad build- ings at Site E33-1. Additional construction was noted at the T-shaped building pattern at each site, and a new structure paralleling the large triad building at Site E33-1 was observed. New construction was noted at and near the support area at each site. Site E24-1 (Figures 2 and 3) is- located at 55-21-04N 36-29-27E, approximately 45 nautical miles (nm) southwest of Moscow Tha lacy coverage of the site ring with an elevated platform in its center. The ring on the large building measures 85 feet in diameter and seems to be slightly elevated above the level of the flat roof, while the rings on the small buildings measure in diameter and appear to be nearly flush with the roofs. To date in the Moscow area, the rings have appeared only at Sites E24-1 and E33-1. An unidentified structure (item 5) adjacent and parallel to the southwest end of the large triad building, and a passageway or conduit I lat which time interpretation was hampered by snow cover. A new section has been added to the security fence since the overage. The secured area includes the building triad, six of the SA-1 launch positions with associated control bunker (Figure 3, item 1), and several small buildings. No significant exterior changes in the build- ing triad are in evidence on the p otography. New mensuration on the good-quality photography indicates the large rectangular building (item 2 of the triad to be 240 by 140 feet nd the two smaller triad buildings (items 3 and 4) to be 115 by 105 feet On the roof of each of the three buildings there appears a between the two, were observed he connecting structure ha L s disappeared __ on photography and adjacent ground scarring indicates that it is in the process of being earth covered. A second ground scar between the two small triad buildings has appeared. The new scar parallels the previously reported scar and con- nects the other two corners of the buildings.

TRIAD AREA No extensive exterior changes in the building trial are in evidence on the I photography.

A circular pattern is taking shape around a similar elevated platform on the other small associated building. The ring on the small triad building measures land appears to be nearly f us with the f at roof, while the ring on the large building is 85 feet in diameter and is slightly raised above the level of the roof. An unidentified structure measuring 135 by 30 feet I(item 5), adjacent and parallel to the northwest end of the large triad building, has been buil It appears to be identical to the structure ob- served at Site E24-1 A prob- able passageway or conduit, very low in profile, connects the new structure with the large triad building and appears to be complete. A square structure has been built at the center of the previously reported buildings which form a T-shaped pattern (item 6). The new build- ing measures 40 by 40 feet -land appears to complete the "T." A new building 145 by 70 feet high (item 7) has been added west of the large triad building. An unidentified ground scar leads from the support area to the new building. A new mastlike object (item 8) is located in a clearing outside the security fence, south of the triad. Low-profile possible revetting (item 9) is located immediately to the southwest of the mastlike object. A second clearing with low-pro- file possible revetting (item 10) is observed along one of the rib roads, near the right center of the herringbone pattern. Two new buildings (items 11 and 12) are located within the herring- pattern along the south side of the entrance road. 25X1 25X1 No apparent change in the guidance area Tan be observed. 25X1 Five new buildings located in an area of new 25X1 The largest building (item 13) is 275 by 25X1 65 feet; the others are 100 by 45 feet (item 14), 200 by 50 feet (item 15), 130 by 45 feet (item 16), and 60 by 30 feet (item 17). Also located in the new area are a small excavation (item 18), a small foundation (item 19), and a newly con- structed stack or standpipe (item 20).
