of snow cover and the poor to fair image quality

25X1 D
The most significant development since
was the observation of an uni- 25X1 D
dentified structure parallel and adjacent to one
end of the large triad building at Sites E15-1 and
E24-1. This combination of structures provides
another similarity to facilities observed at
SSATC Instrumentation Sites 2, 10, and 13, and
Launch Complex B.
Changes have also been observed at SAM
Site C33-1 and the unidentified installation at
55-21N 33-38E. A detailed description of
changes since

The site was snow covered on photography
of poor image quality, in Since
a T-shaped building 280 by 100
by 30 feet is observed 890 feet southeast of the
large triad building, in the area of the previously
reported 70-by 25-foot building (Figure 2). A
security fence is visible on the snow cover, ex-
tending across the width of the launch area, and
connecting with what is probably the original
launch area fencing. No additional details are
available on the site support area because of
heavy cloud cover.
Only one addition has been observed at this
site since 25 September 1963 (Mission 1002-1).
An unidentified structure 125 by 40 feet is under
construction adjacent and parallel to the opsite
end of the large triad building from the two 100-
foot buildings (Figure 3). The coonstructiop of
this structure adjacent to the large building
provides a distinct similarity to comparable
SSATC facilities at Instrumentation Sites 2, 10,
and 13, and Launch Complex B. No changes were
observed in the support area.

Numerous changes have been observed at
this site since An unidentified
structure similar to that o15lerved at site E15-1
and SSATC is under construction adjacent and
parallel to the opposite end of the large triad
building from the two 100-foot buildings (Fig-
ure 4). A probable passageway or conduit con-
nects the two structures. Apprcximately 100
feet vest of this unidentified structure is what
appears to be a mastlike object connected by
a trace that extends 800 feet southeast to a
second unidentified object. A third unidentified

object is located in the wooded area outside the
south fence line. This object is connected by a
trace to the 100-foot triad buildings.
A building 280 by 30 feet has been con-
structed on the bar of the previously reported
T-shaped ground pattern. Three other buildings,
each 70 by 30 feet, have been constructed in the
launch area, two located north of the T-shaped
pattern and one on the north side of the launch
areervice road. Three additional buildings
are observed in the support area and measure
70 by 30 feet, 55 by 30 feet, and 50 by 25 feet.

On the stem of the previously identified T-

being constructed perpendicular to the two 140-
An earthen wall is observed on either
side of, and parallel to, the rib road in the

the launch or support areas.
