MEMORANDUM T' .- - Chairman, Deployment; Working Group, GMAIC
SUBJECT: Soviet ICBM Site iientations - -
REFERENCE: GMAIC Requirement GMAIC DWG 37-5!
(NPIC Project 1121-~5)
1. This memorandum is in answer to your requirement which requests
azimuth orientations from true-north for all d,-:ployed SovietICBM sites.
2. PhotDgraphy used on this project was selected from those tiiapions
having the a:ost complete orbital paraTneter datit, but in some instances,
other than optimum missions were used'.
- 3. All azimuths are given exactly as colcputed and are considr:req to
and IIID whici: are considered to be accurate v--'thin plus/minus 5 deg eea,
None of the yDe IIIC and IIID sites are.complete and a final signat4re pf
these sites r-.3:r indicate a .different pate' orientation.
4. The following criteria were used in determining site orierytat ons
s
and are depicted in figure 1. ----~
Type I A sites - A perpepdicular to the long axis of the 9!Qbable
guider}ce facility.
Type I B sites - The azimuth of the center rail of the wiLhpofe.
All '?ype II sites - The long'.axis of the launch pad and/or $h4
access roads.
Type I1TAjand IIIB - A perpendicular to a line drawn through toe
the three silos.
Type IIIC - A perpendicular to a lint: drawn through the s f tp cigd
t'.110 centers of the flanking fla-,-topped earth mounds,
Type IIID - The long axis of the levrl access to the silo,.;
5. For _aynch sites B at Drovyannaya, Eu&I G at Svobodr>3ry the reo*procal
of the azimuth is also given because in these :stances the control hoer
was constructed on the -northern side of a line connecting the silos,, At sill
other sites of these types the control bunker t?asjconstructed on the. gut~hern
side of a line connecting the silos,

6, At some Type IIIC and IIID sites insufficient identity of s te_,-
orientation criteria precludes determinationtof orientation. T
