INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared in response
to NSA/P0432/R36-65 which requests a detailed
photographic interpretation of the communica-
tion facilities within the Itatka ICBM Complex
and within the Yurya ICBM Complex.
The fair quality photography coupled with
the general site condition limit interpretation
to the extent that a firm antenna count is not
possible nor are the actual antenna dimensions
obtainable. Accuracy of antenna azimuths
ITATKA COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
The Itatka Communications Facility at
45-44-OON 85-21-20E is 9.8 nautical miles (nm)
southwest of the Complex Support Facility of
the Itatka ICBM Complex.
The facility is served by an improved road
which terminates at the facility's 140-by 45-
foot main control building (Figures 1 and 2).
Six general support buildings are in the south-
west corner of the facility along with several
smaller miscellaneous buildings.
There are 4 antennas visible: 1 double
day/night pair of HF rhombic antennas oriented
westward and 1 day/night pair of HF "V"
antennas oriented north-northwest. Measure-
ments, including azimuths, are given on Figure
2; however, it should be noted that the antennas
have been identified by the configuration of
areas cleared of vegetation. Therefore the di-
mensions of the actual antennas are only ap-
proximate. Transmission lines can be observed
radiating from the control building and ter-
minating at each antenna.
The site is fence secured and is com-
patible with the signature of other known ICBM,
YURYA COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY
Yura Communications Facility is at 59-06-
ION 49-18-30E, just 2.0 nm from the Complex
Support Facility of the Yurya ICBM Complex.
Extremely heavy vegetation surrounding the an-
tennas (Figure 3) limits interpretation to such
an extent that a firm count of antennas cannot
be documented; however, some probable antenna
locations have been included and shown on
Figure 4. One pair of horizontal dipoles have
been dimensioned, but this measurement should
be considered only approximate.
Access to the site is by way of an improved
road which terminates at the
main control building. A second building,
may also serve primarily
as a control building. There are 5 other
general support buildings and 2 smaller build-
ings within the control area.
The antennas, which are oriented southwest
and south-southeast, include 1 pair of horizontal
dipoles (2 antennas), 1 possible "V" antenna, 1
pair of probable horizontal dipoles, and 2 prob-
able horizontal dipole antennas. Azimuths have
been given on Figure 4 for the antennas for which
the orientation can be determined with a reason-
able degree of confidence.
The facility is connected by road to the
primary road network which serves the entire
area.
The antennas numbered on Figures 2 and
4 are keyed to the Location and Probable Corre -
spondents Map, Figure 5.
