This photog- raphv also has made it possible toacquire more- rable mensuration. The most significant new development is the installation of rings on the three triad buildings at SAM Site E24-1 and on two of the triad build- ings at Site F33-1. Additional construction was noted at the T-shaped building pattern at each site, and a new structure paralleling the large triad building at Site F-33-1 was observed. New construction was noted at and near the support area at each site. 25X1 25X1 Site F_24-1 (Figures 2 and 3) is located at 55-21-04N 36-29-27F, approximately 45 nautical miles (nm) southwest of Moscow. The last coverage of the site prior to was in at which time interpretation was hampered by snow cover. A new section has been added to the security fence since the coverage. The secured area includes the building triad, six of the SA-1 launch positions with associated control bunker (Figure 3, item 1), and several small buildings. TRIAD AREA No significant exterior changes in the build- ' 25X1 ing triad since are in evidence 25X1 25X1 on the I photography. New mensuration on the good-quality photography indicates the large rectangular building (item 2) of the triad to be 240 by 140 feet and and the two smaller triad buildings (items 3 and 4) to be 115 by 105 feet and On the roof of each of the three buildings there appears a ring with an elevated platform in its center. The ring on the large building measures 85 feet in diameter and seems to be slightly elevated above the level of the flat roof, while the rings on the small buildings measure in diameter and appear to be nearly flush with the roofs. To date in the Moscow area, the rings have appeared only at Sites E24-1 and E33-1. An unidentified structure (item 5) adjacent and parallel to the southwest end of the large triad building, and a passageway or conduit between the two, were observed in The connecting structure has disappeared on photography of and adjacent ground scarring indicates that it is in the process of being earth covered. A second ground scar between the two small triad buildings has appeared. The new scar parallels the previously reported scar and con- nects the other two corners of the buildings.

A circular pattern is taking shape around a similar elevated platform on the other small associated building. The ring on the small triad building measures in diameter and appears to be nearly flush with the flat roof, while the ring on the large building is 85 feet in diameter and is slightly raised above the level of the roof.

A second clearing with low-pro- file possible revetting (item 10) is observed along one of the rib roads, near the right center of the herringbone pattern.

Also located in the new area are a small excavation (item 18), a small foundation item 19), and a newly con- structed stack or standpipe (item 20). In addition, a newly observed building (item 21), which has been under construction since is within a cleared area south- southwest of the support area. The building is similar to one at Site E24-1 (Figure 3, item 25), measures 140 by 50 feet and and is of unidentified function.
