KAPUSTIN YAR/VLADIMIROVKA MISSILE TEST CENTER, USSR
This report has been prepared in response to a requirement for an
analysis of suspected GALOSH missile handling equipment at Kapustin Yar/
Vladimirovka Missile Test Center, Launch Complex D, Pad 1D-3. This
requirement was generated by an NPIC cable (Cite 5521) which suggested
the presence of GALOSH on the basis of mensuration performed from
The subsequent study revealed that the equipment reported in the NPIC
cable asi was not GALOSH or GALOSH handling e uipment. Launch
Pad 1D-3, which can be negated in
on three occasions in late summer and fall
by equipment of
relatively e same size, configuration, an orientation. This equipment
is probably missile handling/support equipment with prime mover, measuring
50 feet in overall length (Figure 2). This measurement is not consistent
with any of the known linear dimensions for the GALOSH missile
GALOSH canister or the GALOSH transporter with prime mover
The 50-foot length measurement was derived by independently measuring
the equipment on each of the three II missions listed above. In each
case two nearby buildings, of known dimensions, were used as scaling factors.
[provided the best imagery and forms the basis for most of
the interpretation.
