MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Ballistic Missiles and Space Division, OSI

THROUGH: Chief, Requirements Branch, Reconnaissance Group, CGS
FROM: Chief, CIA/PD) (NPIC)

1. This memorandum is in response to your requirement dated 28 January
1964 requesting a metrical analysis be performed on the possible impact scars
on Kamchatka Peninsula. The diameters of the three prominent scars, the
geographic location, and the angular relationship between scaxs is provided herein.
These dimensions were provided by CIA/TID (NPIC).
2. The geographic coordinates of the approximate center of t2Se cluster
of the three prominent scars (A - C) is 57-22N 161-42E. These coordinates
were derived by plotting the photo image to the photo image of the map. (AMS
Map Sheet No. 57-9, Series DESPA--1, 1:250,000.) These coordinates are plotted
accurate within 15-30 seconds. The precise geographic coordinates of any
single scar could not be determined at this time due to an error in the Final
25X1 D Ephemeris for Mission - The F nal Ephemeris for Mission is currently
25X1 D in computation. However, it is doubtful that accuracy greater t an that de-
scribed above could be accomplished from the ephemerical data.
3. The scars have been arbitrarily annotated A through F. The diameters
of the three prominent scars (A - C) measure 100 feet, 95 feet, and 105 feet,
respectively. Scar A (Figure 1) has been designated as the reference point for
angular relationships. The distances between scars are indicated in the table,
Figure 2.
