FACILITIES AT MOSCOW SAM SITE E05-1 AND LAUNCH COMPLEX B AT SARY
SHAGAN ANTIMISSILE TEST CENTER (SSATC).
2. THE THREE LAUNCH POSITIONS AND CONTROL BUILDING AT THE WESTERNMOST
LOOP PATTERN OF THE FACILITY NEAR SASYKTOU ARE SIMILAR TO A SEGMENT
OF MOSCOW SAM SITE E05-1 CONTAINING THREE LAUNCH POSITIONS AND
CONTROL BUNKER, AND THE THREE POSITIONS LOCATED IN THE BUILDING
TRIAD AREA OF LAUNCH COMPLEX B AT SSATC.

FEET APART AT MOSCOW SAM SITE E05-1. THE THREE POSITIONS IN THE
BUILDING TRIAD AREA OF LAUNCH COMPLEX B AT SSATC MEASURE 280 AND
500 FEET APART.

FACILITY NEAR SASYKTAU BEARS SIMILARITIES TO BOTH THE DRIVE-THROUGH
