PREFACE
This joint photographic intelligence report has been prepared by the Army,
Navy, and Central Intelligence Agency as a partial answer to a general requirement
for a detailed analysis of the Kapustin Yar/Vladimirovka Missile Test Center. It
combines th photography in presenting a
detailed photo analysis of the Probable Aerodynamic Missile Facilities at the Ka-
pustin Yar/Vladimirovka Missile Test Center. A similar analysis of the Surface-
to-Air Missile Facilities has already been published in PIC7JR-1008/61, and
Launch Complex "E" and Troop Training Launch Complex "G" of the Surface-to-
Surface Missile Facilities have been reported, respectively, in PIC/JR-1005/61
and PIC/JR-1006/61. Analysis is continuing on other complexes and facilities in
the Missile Test Center.
This report presents a comparative analysis of the
photography, and the line drawings portray in green all changes and
additions subsequent to the 1957 coverage. All reported azimuths are referenced
from True North, and the term miles in the text refers to nautical miles. A table
on page 28 provides geographic coordinates of the major areas within the Probable
Aerodynamic Missile Facilities.

FIGURE 7. GENERAL ORIENTATION MAP.
Photography of re-
vealed a major construction program
under way at the Vladimirovka rangehead
of the Kapustin Yar/Vladimirovka Missile
Test Center. This expansion program,
which included a launch complex and a
missile fabrication complex, constituted
the Probable Aerodynamic Missile Facil-
ities. Photography oil I
supplies additional coverage of the Vlad-
imirovka rangehead, and thereby, forms
the basis for a comparative study of the
Probable Aerodynamic Missile Facilities
and their development over a two-year
period.
The launch complex, designated
Launch Complex "D", includes a launch
area, a network of guidance and/or in-
strumentation, a support area, and an
assembly and checkout area. The Missile
Fabrication Complex includes a laboratory
and administrative area, a fabrication
area, and a support area. No major com-
munications site has been identified at
the Vladimirovka rangehead.
In 1957 the Launch area was under
construction, and consisted of two con-
tiguous launch sites positioned at the
terminus of a branch rail line from
Vladimirovka. Launch Site 1D was nearly
complete, whereas construction had just
begun on Launch Site 2D. The network
of guidance and/or instrumentation in-
cluded a range control center, a radar
facility, and a rear "L" pattern of instru-
mentation, all of which were operative
and were probably engaged in preliminary
operations at the complex. A forward
"L" pattern of guidance and/or instru-
mentation was in late stages of construc-
tion, and therefore, was not fully opera-
tive at that time. The Assembly and
Checkout Area was still under construc-
25X1
tion, being about 30 percent complete. 25X1
The Missile Fabrication Complex was in
late stages of construction and featured
a large fabrication building and two ma-
chine shops.
In 1959 the Launch Area had been
expanded to include a third and fourth
launch site, Sites 3D and 4D. Launch
Site 3D, constructed during the interven-
ing two-year period, was operative, and
its support facilities were being expan-
ded. Launch Site 4D, which will have
the largest pad at the Test Center, was
under construction, and approximately
50 percent complete. Construction at
Launch Site 1D had been completed. Ini-
tial construction plans at Site 2D, how-
ever, were apparently abandoned, and
instead, a smaller launch facility was
constructed. The network of guidance
and/or instrumentation had been expanded
to include a linear pattern of instrumen-
tation, probably associated with Launch
Site 3D, and construction of the Forward
"L" Pattern had been completed. The
Assembly and Checkout Area had also
been finished, and it appeared very sim-

ilar to a facility at Tyura Tam. The
Missile Fabrication Complex was under-
going expansion, including the addition of
a second large fabrication building and
other supporting structures.
Analysis of these facilities strongly
indicates that the Soviets have an extensive
and expanding research program at the
Vladimirovka rangehead for developing
surface-launched, large aerodynamic mis-
siles. This program was initiated prior
to the 1957 coverage, but actual firings
probably did not take place until some-
time in 1958. These first firings were
probably initiated at Launch Site 1Dwhich
appears to handle a liquid-propellant-
boosted, large aerodynamic missile. The
Assembly and Checkout Area is probably
the handling facility for the liquid pro-
pellant booster. Launch Site 2D was prob-
ably the second site to become operative.
However, Site 2D appears to handle a
much smaller vehicle than that associated
with Site 1D. Launch Site 3D, which was
the third site to become operative, appa-
rently handles a solid-propellant-boosted,
large aerodynamic missile. An explosives
storage and handling facility at this site
should be adequate to handle the solid
propellant boosters. The Fabrication Com-
plex, probably associated with Complex
'D11, could be fabricating the prototype
aerodynamic vehicle and/or vehicles which
are flight tested at the Launch Area.

is situated 2, 350 feet northeast of the
Central Control Facility. In addition to
the Token radar, there are two probable
tracking radars positioned nearby, which
are connected by cable with the Token.
RADAR FACILITY
The Radar Facility (Site D-3), situated
1.3 miles northwest of the Range Control
Center, is enclosed by a single wire fence
1,725 by 535 feet, and is served by an
all-weather road. The facility contains a
Token radar with two associated probable
tracking radars, another group of radar
and/or telemetry antennas, several build-
ings, and numerous electronic vehicles
parked in line. A detailed description of
facilities follows. Item numbers corres-
pond with those on Figure 15.
(1) Approximately 21 electronic ve-
hicles parked in line, with about 9 probable
mobile generators situated nearby.
(2) Two buildings, each flat-roofed
and measuring 45 by 30 feet.
3 Four electronic vehicles and a
shed The four vehicles may
be radar and/or telemetry antennas.
(4) Possible operations building, two-
story, gable-roofed, A
cable line connects the building with the
four possible radar and/or telemetry
antennas and a nearby building.
(5) Two buildings, each flat-roofed,
and measuring 45 by 30 feet.
(6) Token radar with seven associated
vehicles and an earth-mounded structure.
A cable line connects the Token with two
probable tracking radars situated to the

The legs of the pattern measure 3.2 local co
miles (6 km) in length and intersect at a fenced a
90-degree angle. The north/south leg lies an instru

form rises 20 feet above ground level and
is positioned on its respective building so
that it faces one of the other two. In addi-
tion, two smaller buildings are associated
with each of these buildings.
Of the several aerial targets in this
area, three lie along the perpendicular
bisector of the north/south leg. In 1957,
may have constituted a mobile communi-
cations site similar to those identified
elsewhere at the Center. However, these
vehicles have been removed from the site
since 1957. A description of facilities in
the site follows. Item numbers correspond

FORWARD "L" PATTERN
The Forward "L" Pattern is located
19.9 miles (36.9 km} east of the Launch
Area (see Figure 13). The pattern includes
three major sites (D-7, D-8, and D-9), a
fourth smaller site (D-10), and a perma-
nent range camp. Roads and cable lines
interconnect these sites, and the over-all
forward pattern is connected by roads
and cable with both the Launch Area and
the Rear "L" Pattern.
The north/south leg of this pattern
measures 12.0 miles (22.2 km) in length
and lies along a northerly azimuth of 2
degrees. The east/west leg measures
16.2 miles (30.0 km) long and lies along
an easterly azimuth of 0 Ex-
cluding the easternmost site (D-10), the
length of the east/west leg measures 10.7
miles (19.9 km). A perpendicularbisector
of the north/south leg, when extended to
the Launch Area, intersects the launch
structure at Launch Site 1D. This bisector
which lies along an easterly azimuth of
coincides with the alignment
of the center points of domes and plat-
PiC/JR-1015/61
forms positioned within each of the three
major sites. A detailed description of the'
four sites and the range camp follows.
Due to the obliquity and small scale of
the 1959 coverage, the description of
Site D-7 is based mainly on the 1957
coverage.

LOGISTICAL
AND ADMINISTRATIVE
SUPPORT AREA
The Support Area, situated along the
road and branch rail line from Vladimi-
rovka, is located 2.6 miles from the
Launch Area (see Figure 3) and is essen-
tially unchanged from its status in 1957.
Analysis of the 1957 coverage indicated
the area to be one of the oldest in the
Probable Aerodynamic Missile Facilities
and, together with the Range Control Cen-
ter and the Rear "L" Instrumentation
Pattern, was probably engaged in the
earliest activities of the Vladimirovka
rangehead area.
The Support Area has beenartibrarily
divided into three sections (see Figure 28 ).
Sections North and South are contiguous
and secured, whereas Section West is a
short distance from the others and un-
secured. The two secured sections contain
housing and support facilities capable of
billeting approximately 425 persons. In
addition, two possible instrumentation
buildings are situated in Section North.
Section West consists generally of several
buildings, an unoccupied tent-base area,
and a waste disposal facility. Outside the
three sections, facilities along the branch
rail include a 2,445-foot siding with an
off-loading hardstand and turning wye.
The wye has a turning radius of 725 feet
and the stem of the wye measures 190 feet
in length. A small gable-roofed building

(6) Building, abou~
turning wye.
A possible water line parallels the
west side of the branch rail line, and a
possible water pumping station is situated
just north of the turning wye. A buried
cable line extends from Section West to
Instrumentation Site D-4 in the Rear "L"
Pattern. In addition, there is a ground
scar, added since 1957, which parallels
the road to the Launch Area.
Section North is secured by a wire
fence 835 by 395 feet and its service road
continues through the section to the Range
Control Center, suggesting [hat operations
at these two may be related. Facilities in-
clude two possible instrumentation build-
ings, two barracks-type buildings, several
other structures, and a motor pool. A
description of these facilities follows.
Item numbers correspond io those on
Figure 28.

ASSEMBLY
AND CHECKOUT AREA
The Assembly and Checkout Area,
probably completed during the spring or
summer of 1958, is situated along the rail
and road serving Complex "D", at a point
7.9 miles from the Launch Area and 3.7
miles from the Missile Fabrication Com-
plex (see Figure 3). The area probably
serves as the assembly andcheckoutpoint
for the liquid propellant booster associated
with the vehicle flight tested at Launch
Site 1D. A portion of the area is secured
by a double wire fence, 2,350 by 720 feet,
which encloses a large rail and road
drive-through building, a transloading fa-
cility, asecurity building, and several
other miscellaneous structures (see Fig-
ure 29). A buried possible water line and
a buried steam line serve this fenced
portion. The remaining facilities are sit-
uated outside the fenced area and include
a thermal plant, two earth-mounded stor-
age tanks, and three excavations. A de-
tailed description of these facilities fol-

Facility No. 2 at Tyura Tam is prob-
ably handling large liquid propellant mis-
siles and their components, possibly to
include explosive components as evidenced
by its explosives storage and handling
area. The Complex I'D" installation does
not require either the explosives storage
and handling area or the other component
storage facilities found at the Tyura Tam
facility. Therefore, the Complex "D"area
may be handling only that portion of the
vehicle which would be used as the liquid
propellant booster far the vehicle flight-
tested at Launch Site ID.

MISSILE FABRICATION COMPLEX
The Missile Fabrication Complex is
located adjacent to the Vladimirovka Sup-
port Base (see Figure 3). Facilities com-
prising this complex have been grouped
into a laboratory and administrative area,
a fabrication area, and a support area,
(see Figure 31 ). In 1957 the complex was
in final stages of construction, and in
1959 those facilities were complete and
operative, and a current expansion pro-
gram was under way. The complex is
connected with Launch Complex "D" by
bath rail and an all-weather road, and a
70-foot-wide taxiway connects it with the
Class I Vladimirovka Airfield.
It appears that the complex may be
utilized for fabricating the prototype aero-
dynamic vehicle and/or vehicles which
are flight tested at Launch Complex "D".
Large-scale production would probably
require additional facilities. However,
there is ample room for future expansion.
LABORATORY AND
ADMINISTRATIVE AREA
The Laboratory and Administrative
Area is dispersed over the southwestern
portion of the complex. It includes a prob-
able laboratory, a water pump house, an
administrative-engineering building, and
several other buildings under construc-
tion. Adetailed description of these facil-
ities follows. Item numbers correspond
to those on Figure 31.

CONCLUSIONS
Launch Complex "D" and the Missile Fabrication Complex constitute the
facilities for an extensive Soviet research program which is probably developing
surface-launched, large aerodynamic missiles.
The probable aerodynamic missile research program was initiated prior to
1957. However, actual firings probably did not commence until sometime in 1958.
Launch Site 1D, apparently the initial launch facility to become operative, is
probably associated with aliquid-propellant-boosted, large aerodynamic missile.
Probably in late 1957, initial construction plans at Launch Site 2D were aban-
doned, and instead, a smaller launch facility was constructed.
Launch Site 3D, constructed sometime between
and mid-1959,

Construction at Launch Site 4D was about 50 percent complete and should have
been finished by mid-to-late 1960.
The Rear "L" and Forward "L" Patterns appear primarily associated with
operations at Launch Site 1D.
The Linear Pattern appears primarily associated with Launch Site 3D.
The Assembly and Checkout Area probablyhandlestbe liquid propellant booster
employed at Launch Site 1D.
The Missile Fabrication Complex probably fabricates the prototype aerodynamic
vehicle and/or vehicles flight tested at the Launch Area.
