COMPLEX A, AT SARY SHAGAN. NO PREPARATION FOR V-RAIL INSTALLATION IS OB-
SERVED. A DRIVE-THROUGH CENTRAL REVETMENT AT EACH LAUNCH SITE CONSISTS OF
TWO CLOSELY SPACED PARALLEL MOUNDS.
THE PERPENDICULAR BISECTOR OF A LINE CONNECTING SITES "A" AND "C"
CONTROL HAS AN AZIMUTH OF 105/285 DEGREES (PLUS OR MINUS 10 DEGREES). THE
FOLLOWING MEASUREMENTS REPRESENT THE DIMENSIONS BETWEEN LAUNCH SITE CONTROL
CENTERS: "A" TO "C", 2138 FT (PLUS OR MINUS 10 DEGREES OR 10 %). RADAR
POSITIONS ARE NOT DISCERNIBLE AT THE ELECTRONIC SITE, HOWEVER, A LONG MOUND
FACES A REVETMENT WITH 3 SEPERATE BAYS. A LARGE GRADED AREA IS ADJACENT
TO THE ELECTRONIC SITE BUT NO PROMINENT FEATURES ARE OBSERVED. A PROBABLE
FENCE ENCLOSES MOST OF THE COMPLEX. NO MISSILES OR MISSILE-RELATED EQUIP-
MENT OBSERVED.
