 Launch Area No 1 (TDI name: Gusev MSRBM Launch Site 1) -- Type I 54-41-30N 22-05-15E
Launch Area No 2 (TDI name: Gusev MIRB\I Launch Site 2) -- Type I 54-44-15N 22-04-15E
 This report supplements NPIC/R-244/63,
1/ which discusses the Gusev MRBM Complex,
previously consisting of two Type I launch areas.
Gusev MRBM Launch Areas No 1 and 2 were
first observedi how-
ever, their status could not be determined at that
time because of partial cloud cover over each
site They were considered e complete
Launch Area
No 1 is 21.0 nautical miles (nm) north-northwest
of the fixed field site and Launch Area No 2 is
23.8 nm north-northwest of the site. They are
both connected to the fixed field site by road.
The fixed field site (Figure 1) is located in
a rolling, wooded area 14.0 nm south-southeast
of Gusev and 1.6 nm north of the border of
Poland. It was not present on hotography^
and was first
and three launch positions interconnected by a
road network (Fi re 2). Later
photography revealed another
launch position had been added. The azimuth of
the launch positions is approximately 220 de-
grees, compared with azimuths of approx-
imately 250 decrees for Launch Areas No 1 and 2.
Photography
revea e no ur er c ange in
the site. There were no vehicles or equipment
discernible at this fixed field site on any of the
referenced photographic missions.
Gusev MRBM Launch Areas No 1 and 2prob-
ably use the rail yards in Gusev for a rail-
to-road transfer point. A rail spur 1.6 nm
northeast of the fixed field site could serve
as its rail-to-road transfer point. Good roads
connect the transfer points with the site.
