An area previously included in the complex as Possible Launch Area No 3 appears to have been abandoned in an early stage of construction. Launch Area No 1 was first observed in and was complete at that time. Launch Area No 2 was initially observed in and was complete in Launch Area No 1 is located 35 nautical miles (nm) southeast of Spassk-Dalniy, and 7 nm east- northeast of Arsenyev. Launch Area No 2 is 4 nm south-southeast of Launch Area No 1. Both areas are located in very rugged terrain. The launch site (Figure 2) is oriented on an azimuth of approximately-and appears to be doubly fenced. Each of the launch silo covers measures approximately 60 by 55 feet, and a rectangular structure is observed in the eastern portion of the launch site. _ A mounded building and a drive-through building with an external overhead crane appear to be complete. Additionally, 3 structures appear to be under construction in the area, which may imply that the facility will resemble a Class D type configuration. No security fence is observed around the facility. However, the surrounding foliage is quite dense and could obscure any fencing present. The site support facility, located farther to the west, consists of at least 23 structures. The largest structure measures approximately 220 by 65 feet, and 2 other structures are approxi- mately 145 by 50 feet. Further analysis of this facility is restricted because of the poor interpretability of available photography. A probable construction camp is located still farther to the west. A rail-to-road transfer point is located 6 nm to the northwest. Improved roads link the transfer point to the launch area. 25X9 Handle Via Talent-KEYHOLE Approved For Release 21 1 6K 1b-R $T04759AO0340001000649ystem Only Handle Via Approved For Release 2$vPJftgtt-RUP-T04759A0034000100PaS9goo01/66 Talent-KEYHOLE Control System Only N VOS V SOY E V K A RFI ELD RAIL-TO-ROAD TRANSFER POINT Railroad Road Bridge LAUNCH AREA NO 2 VARFOLOMEYEVKA SOUTHWEST AIRFIELD V AR FO LOM EY E V KA SOUTH AIRFIELD LAUNCH AREA NO 1 Handle Via rr TT LL Talent-KEYHOLE Approved For Release 219f/1 $A9~RE114-RuuB~f8TO4759AO03400010O&J1.9rstem Only Handle Via Approved For Release 2fQ~'1~1'fr/ftRQ~-R -8T04759A0034000100 1S98ooo1/66 Talent-KEYHOLE yr J Control System Only r 25X1 D 25X9 Handle Via ~~ C r pI Talent-KEYHOLE Approved For Release 20P?/1 Y/k3RE A--RU8T04759A003400010MQ1LSystem Only Handle Via Approved For Release 2pby1 yftRt p`-kof f8T04759AO034000100RI5980001/66 Talent-KEYHOLE J R~ rr Control System Only 25X1 D Handle Via ~~ T CC Talent-KEYHOLE Approved For Release 2~9'f/1 rRETA-RUFF8T04759A00340001Ck0a1l-9ystem Only
