This memorandum is in response to your requirement dated 4 November 1964 which requests a search for the existence of communication links between the,four triad sites in the Moscow area and also the existence of communication links be- tween the four triad sites at Sary Shagan. 25X1D 2. KEYHOLE provided the best quality photographic coverage of the Moscow area. The four triad sites located at surface-to-air BA-1 missile launch sites E-5, E-15, E-24, and E-33 were all examined for possible conIInunicat:on facilities however, no coimnunicationfaci- lities were observed ccnnecting any of these sites. An examination.was?also made of the DOGHOUSE antenna for 96 possible link between this facility and the triad sites. No communication facilities were observed connecting these sites. 25X1 D 3. KEYHOLE provided the beat usable quality. photography of the triad sites at'Sary Shagan. These four triad sites are located at Instrumentation Site 2, Instrumentation Site 10, Instrumentation Site 13 and Launch Complex B. No communication facilities connecting these sites were observed on clear photography. However, due to extensive ground scarring and the presence of various poles, masts, and towers in the instrumentation areas it is impossible to confirm or negate a possible communications link between the triad sites. 25X1A 4. The photo analyst on this project is who may be contacted on extension 2079 should you have any further questions concerning this project. 5. This project is considered to be complete.
