At Launch Site Ni, a rectangular silo headworks measuring 75 by 30 feet
has been partially constructed over the silo coring. An additional excavation
has been dug approximately 500 feet NNW of the original excavation and a
circular probable launch control capsule partially constructed in it. The
site access road has been completed and the small building adjacent to the
silo excavation has been earth mounded.
At Launch Sites M2 and M3, rectangular silo headworks measuring 75 by 30
feet have been partially constructed over the silo corings at both launch
sites. The rectangular structure in the southeast corner of the excavation at
M2, and in the southwest corner at M3, have been completed and earth mounded.
A probable buried conduit connects these structures with mailer earth-mounded
structures 200 feet west at M2, and 200 feet south at M3. The small building
adjacent to the silo excavations has also been completed and earth mounded.
