LAUNCH AREAS D AND H
This report presents information on Launch Areas D (4)* and H (8)*, Svobodnvv ICBNI
Complex, updating that given in NPIC /R-229/64, dated April 1964. 1/
Launch Area D (51-58N 128-07L) consists
of a completed Type IID. launch site and a site
? support facility. It is situated in a partially
wooded area 14 nautical miles (nm) north of
the complex support facility (Figure 1). The
launch area was first seen in
25X1 D
25X1 D
A single security fence is visible on three
sides of the launch site. There are three images
on each pad. It is possible the shelter has been
moved to the right of the erector, and the third
image (square) is toward the forward edge of
the pad. One large earth-banked missile-ready
building, canted outward about 30 degrees, is
600 feet behind the right pad, and a narrower
earth-banked missile-ready building, canted
outward about 45 degrees, is 600 feet behind the
left pad. Four canted buildings, 2 large center
buildings, and 4 other structures between the
pads are earth mounded.

The site support. facility, about 3,600 feet
northwest of the launch site, contains an admin-
istration and housing section and a housing
section. The administration and housing section
contains 21 buildings, including 8 barracks-type
buildings and a probable heating plant. Three
areas of unidentified activity are east of the
administration and housing section, and a ground
scar leads north-northwest from the adminis-
tration and housing section to 2 semiburied tanks
and 3 small structures located just north of
the housing section. The housing section con-
tains 21 buildings, including one building 240
by 45 feet and 6 barracks-type buildings. It
appears that several. buildings, including one
building 240 by 45 feet and one barracks-type
building, have been removed from the housing
section since
A power trace is discernible about 2,000 feet
west of the site support facility.

administration and housing section and a housing
section. The administration and housing section
contains 25 buildings, including 5 barracks-type
buildings. Two parallel scars, each 350 by 40
feet, are located 1,500 feet northwest of the

feet apart. The .housing section contains 8 build-
ings, including one building 200 by 45 feet, 3
barracks-type buildings, and 4 other buildings.
Approximately 21 buildings have been removed
