9. MISSION READOUT: THE COMPLEX CONSISTS OF 3 LAUNCH SITES IN AN
EARLY STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION WITH ACTIVITY APPARENTLY CONCENTRATED ON THE
SITE SERVICE ROAD OF LAUNCH SITE "A" WHERE CLEARINGS FOR 3 LAUNCH POSITIONS
ARE PRESENT. AT LAUNCH SITE "B", ONLY THE ROAD PATTERN IN THE WOODS IS
VISIBLE. AT LAUNCH SITE "C", THE CLEARINGS FOR 6 LAUNCH POSITIONS ARE
VISIBLE ALONG THE SITE SERVICE ROADS ALTHOUGH THE ACTIVITY DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE RECENT. A LOOP ROAD IS OBSERVED AT THE ELECTRONIC SITE BUT
NO DEFINITE ELECTRONICS POSITIONS ARE DISCERNIBLE. THE OVERALL CONFIGURA-
TION OF THE INDIVIDUAL LAUNCH SITES AT THIS COMPLEX AND AT THE KALININ
PROBABLE LONG RANGE SAM LAUNCH COMPLEX MAY REPRESENT A DEPARTURE FROM THE
DESIGN OF PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED PROBABLE LONG RANGE SAM LAUNCH COMPLEXES
AT SARY-SHAGAN COMPLEX 2, AT LIEPAJA, AND IN THE URALS, SINCE THE SITE
SERVICE ROADS FORM A CLOSED LOOP WITH A ROAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE
LAUNCH SITE JOINING BOTH SIDES OF THE LOOP. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
A CLEARING FOR A CENTRAL GUIDANCE/CONTROL POSITION AT ITS EXPECTED LOCATION
AT LAUNCH SITE "A". IN ADDITION, ACCESS TO THE ELECTRONIC SITE IS APPARENTLY
THROUGH A ROAD EXPENDED FROM THE CENTRAL ROAD AT LAUNCH SITE "B". A CLEARED
AREA IS OBSERVED ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THIS ROAD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF LAUNCH
SITE "B".
