PROBABLE ANTISATELLITE ACTIVITY
TYURATAM SPACE LAUNCH TEST SITE G1 A/B, USSR
1. SIGNIFICANCE: AN SL-11 LAUNCH VEHICLE WITH A PROBABLE
ANTISATELLITE (ASAT) PAYLOAD IS ON A RAIL TRANSPORTER MOVING
TOWARD THE PAYLOAD INTEGRATION BUILDING WEST OF THE LAUNCH
AREA. THE FACT THAT THE LAUNCH VEHICLE WITH PAYLOAD ATTACHED
IS MOVING TOWARD THE INTEGRATION BUILDING RATHER THAN AWAY FROM
IT SUGGESTS THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PAYLOAD OR ITS
BOOSTER AND THAT IT IS BEING RETURNED FOR DEMATING. (SWN)
2. REMARKS: THE INTEGRATION BUILDING IS USED IN THE INTEGRATION
AND CHECKOUT OF THE ASAT, ELINT, AND RADAR OCEAN RECONNAISSANCE
SATELLITES LAUNCHED FROM THIS SITE. (SWN)
