Possible Launch Area ll, containing a hard-
ened site of undetermined type, is located 13 nm
WSW of the complex support facility. 'ibis site

Launch Site ll consists of a possible shallow,
irregular-shaped excavation served by a loop
road (Figure 1). "1 he access .road into the site is
an old winding road unlike the well-engineered
roads usually seen at ICBM launch complexes.
Few details are discernible within the loop
road. "l~here appears to be an excavation but
its exact shape and dimensions cannot be deter-
mined. Four objects are located on the west
side of the excavation but it is not possible to
tell whether they are buildings or just snow-
covered mounds of earth. No fence is visible

at the site.
The launch site is the only component of the
possible launch area present. The site support
facilities are probably collocated with those of
Launch Area C. lividence of considerable travel
between these two areas supports this interpre-
tation.
'There are about 14 unidentified buildings
located on the east side of the access road
0.6 ntn north of the launch site. These buildings
arc larger and do not have the appearance of a
typical Russian village. However, they were
present in and are
probably not related to the launch area.
Poor-quality photography and ground snow
cover preclude detailed interpretation.
