TRIAD AREA
Construction in the triad area continues,
with exterior changes observed at 2 of the
buildings. In - the roof of the small
northwest building (Figure 2, item 1) appeared
incomplete, but by- it appeared to have
been completed. It was also ascertained on the
- coverage that the previously reported
unidentified object on the roof of the large
triad building is an elevated platform 40 feet
square (item 2), similar to that observed in
on the large triad
building at Site E15-1. 2/ Adjacent and paral-
lel to the northeast end of the buuilding is an
unidentified building, 140 by-55 feet (item 3),
resembling the buildings similarly positioned
at Sites E15-1, E24-1, and E33-1. The building

east of it. On the -coverage a road is dis-
cernible extending from the small northwest
building toward the northwest side of the large
building, as well as 2 scars or traces extending
from the other small building to the triad
service road.
LAUNCH AREA
A cleared area of approximately 33,000
square feet (item 4), located between the fourth

SUPPORT AREA
Two traces or ground scars, portrayed as
roads in previous reports, have been identified
on the west side of the site on the late-
photography. One approaches the site from the
south, crosses the site service road, and extends
northward. The other branches off it, extends
east, and terminates at an unidentified structure
measuring approximately 30 by 10 feet (Figure
4, item 1). Both traces/scars were present as
early as
- just northwest of the large triad build-
ing. This building probably was present on?
coverage but was not clearly defined.
A probable security building 20 by 20 feet
(item 3) has been identified on the south side of
the triad access road, along the inner security
fence. This building may have been present
on earlier coverage, but was not discernible
because of a thick stand of trees in the area.

The previously reported low-profile pos-

The suspect interferometer site (56-05-05N
38-29-25E) consists of a secured area approxi-
mately 8,785 by 5,730 feet (approximately 1,156
acres) containing numerous control-type build-
ings and a network of probable cable scars (Fig-
ure 10). Scars 6,875 feet long form 2 overlapping
plus configurations that suggest interferometers
with exceptionally long baselines. A building 70
by 55 feet with a possible antenna on the roof is
positioned at each of the 8 termini, and a build-

ing 125 by 125 feet is positioned at both bi-
section points. Two other buildings, 305 by
110 feet, are arranged end-to-end between
the bisection points. The 2 pluses overlap by
50 percent and in such a way as to give the site
a rectangular outline. A line drawn through the
bisection points is oriented on, an azimuth of
approximately
The plus configuration arrangement of ele-
ments is ideal for phase-measuring techniques,
and when combined with exceptionally long
baselines, would offer great accuracy in space
tracking.
This site (56-04-OON 38-30-25E), which
apparently is unsecured consists of twin, ad-
jacent interferometers and a probable control
center (Figure 11).
The interferometers are of the standard
Soviet type,- such as are deployed singly at the
Tyuratam and Kapustin Yar/Vladimirovka Mis-
sile Test Centers and at other locations through-
out the USSR. The clearings for the baselines,
which bisect each other at right angles, are
from 1,130 to 1,290 feet long. An apparent modi-
fication consists of ground scars which form
probable leg extensions at the northwest inter-
ferometer. Near the bisection point of each
interferometer is a partially buried control
