KUYB S E AEROSPACE PLAP , USSR
THE APRON, IS AND CONSISTS OF A FLATBED 25X1
SUBSTRUCTURE WITH PROBABLE CRADLE SUPPORTS AT EITHER END. A
LATERALLY PLACED CRADLE FROM THE END OF THE DOLLY 25X1
HAS A CRADLE SPAN OF UNLIKE THE 30-IIETER AEROSPACE 25X1
COMPONENT DOLLY, THE DOLLY DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE
EQUIPPED WITH A TOWBAR INDICATING THAT IT MAY OPERATE UNDER ITS
OWN POWER. ALTHOUGH THE NEW DOLLY HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AT
THE RAMENSKOYE FLIGHT TEST CENTER IT MAY HAVE 25X1
BEEN UNDER THE 26-METER AEROSPACE COMPONENT SINCE IT WAS FIRST
OBSERVED ON 25X1
1. (SWN) SIGNIFICANCE: A NEW*AEROSPACE COMPONENT HANDLING DOLLY,
PROBABLY DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE SMALLER 26-METER AEROSPACE
COMPONENT, IS-PRESENT.
2. (SWN) REMARKS: THE EMPTY DOLLY IS BENEATH THE AEROSPACE
COMPON 1ANTRY CRANE ADJACENT TO THE 30-METER AEROSPACE
COMP NENT HANDLING DOLLY TiIAT WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED AT KUYBYSHEV
ON THE NEW DOLLY, WHICH PROBABLY WILL UNDERGO
COMPATABILITY TESTING WITH THE CRANE AND HARDPOINT FITTINGS ON
(SWN) KUYBYSHEV PLANT 1 HAS BEEN PRIMARILY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
PRODUCTION OF SPACECRAFT AND SPACE BOOSTERS, ALTHOUGH SOME
SS-N-3/12 CRUISE MISSILES AND LARGE CRYOGENIC PROPELLANT
STORAGE TANKS ARE ALSO PRODUCED HERE. A MAJOR PLANT EXPANSION
PROGRAM, UNDERWAY SINCE 1978, IS APPARENTLY RELATED TO THE
FABRICATION/ASSEMBLY OF AT LEAST ONE OF TWO NEW SPACE BOOSTERS
THAT THE SOVIETS ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING. THE AEROSPACE
COMPONENTS PRODUCED HERE WILL PROBABLY BE AIR TRANSPORTED TO
TYURATAM AIRFIELD 3 WHERE THEY WILL BE
OFFLOADED AT AN AREA SIMILAR TO THOSE AT KUYBYSHEV AND
RAM4ENSKOYE.
