MOSCOW GUIDED MISSILE PLANT AND EXPERIMENTAL STATION
KALININGRAD NO 88, USSR, F_ I
The Moscow Guided Missile Plant and Ex-
perimental Station Kaliningrad No 88, USSR, con-
sists of 3 individually secured areas. These
areas are the Missile Plant No 88, the Central
Design Bureau for Space and Intercontinental
Missiles, and the probable location of the Scien-
tific Research Institute No 88 (NII 88). The en-
tire installation contains 33 major and approxi-
mately 60 minor buildings with a total roof cov-
erage of about 3.3 million square feet.
The most significant structures in the in-
stallation are 2 towers in the missile plant, one
245 by 130 by 160 feet high and the other 130 by

reported to be a hydrostatic test facility 32 me-
ters (105 feet) high, and the larger is capable of
handling missiles either vertically or horizon-
tally. Other significant facilities include apos-
sible test building in the Central Design Bureau,
a fabrication and assembly building with a high-
bay section 425 by 115 by 75 feet high in the mis-
sile plant, and a newly completed high-bay struc-
ture 215 by 80 by 70 feet high in the research in-
stitute area. In addition, each of the areas con-
tains its own assembly/fabrication buildings,
shops, engineering offices, and possible labora-
tory facilities.

OOE, 11 nautical miles (nm) northeast of the cen-
ter of Moscow (Figure 1). Alternate names for
the installation include: 1) Scientific Research
Institute and Experimental Factory 88 for Guided
Missile Development, Moscow/Kaliningrad, 2)
NII 88, and 3) Moscow Missile Development Plant
No 88, Kaliningrad.
The Kaliningrad installation is composed of
3 adjoining areas, each separately secured. Mis-
sile Plant No 88 (Post Box 924) occupies the cen-
tral area, and the Central Design Bureau for
Space and Intercontinental Rockets (Post Box
651) occupies the northern area. The southern
area, which is the site of the former Moscow/
Missile Plant No 88 occupies an area ap-
proximately 4,000 by 1,500 feet. It contains
17 major buildings and approximately 20 minor
structures. The major buildings have a total
roof coverage of about 1,488,000 square feet.
Two large fabrication and assembly buildings
(items 9 and 15, Figure 4) represent 55 per-
cent of this total or about 824,000 square feet.

The larger fabrication and assembly build-

The measured height of this tower agrees with
a collateral report that the tower is 32 meters
(105 feet) high and was designed for hydro-
static testing. 2/ The southern half of this build-

least 4 halls in addition to the 2 high bays with
an overall height of 70 feet including 10-foot
roof monitors.
The other large fabrication and assembly

high-bay section. The high bay, added during

Its roofs (2 levels) are 30 and 20 feet
high (including the roof monitors) or about 20
and 15 feet high at their eaves.
Other significant facilities of Missile Plant
No 88 include shops, a transformer house,
steamplants, a probable forge, a probable found-
ry, administrative buildings, engineering build-
ings, and storage buildings. The plant area is
separate section in the southern end of the plant
area which contains storage buildings and apos-

spurs, and 1 spur extends south into the re-
search institute area. A perspective drawing
of Missile Plant No 88 (Post Box 924) is pre-
sented on Figure 3; this drawing excludes most
of the separately fenced southern section of the
plant area.
The Central Design Bureau for Space and
Intercontinental Rockets (Post Box 651) oc-
cupies an individually secured area approxi-
mately 1,700 by 1,700 feet (Figure 4). The area
was formerly known as the Central Artillery
Design Bureau. The Central Design Bureau
contains 6 major buildings and approximately
12 minor structures. The major buildings have
a total roof coverage of about 388,000 square
feet. Significant facilities include a possible
test building, a fabrication and assembly build-
ing, a possible forge/foundry, shops, and a large
office building. The installation is rail served.
The possible test building (item 2, Figure
4) was built It is pos-
sibly the steel-frame building seen under con-
struction on^ground photography. The build-
ing consists of 2 longitudinal bays. The higher
bay is approximately 290 by 80 feet and 80 feet
high; the lower bay is approximately 290 by 35
feet and 45 feet high. Two towers, each about
35 by 35 feet, rise from the lower bay to a height
of about 80 feet.
The research institute, probably the Scien-
tific Research Institute No 88, is located on the
former Moscow/ Kaliningrad Airfield. The in-
stallation is individually secured and occupies
an area approximately 4,000 by 3,000 feet over-
all. It contains 10 major buildings and approxi-
mately 30 minor buildings. The major buildings

and assembly buildings, a newly built high-bay
building, shops, a possible laboratory building,
and storage buildings. The area is served by a
rail spur which enters from the missile plant.

15 feet) are stored alongside the rail spur.
