This report presents detailed engineering dimensions of the SA-3 GOA
surface-to-air missile. The dimensions were derived from photography of the
missile in the Moscow parades. Because of the advanced mensuration techniques
used, the dimensions in this report are considered to be more accurate than
any previously obtained for the SA-3 missile.
The dimensions for the SA-3 provided in this report are shown on engineer-
ing drawings of the missile and missile components. Figure I provides selected
photographic views of the missile. Overall dimensions are shown in Figures 2
and 3 and dimensions of the individual components of the missile are in Figures
4-10.
All mensuration in this report was performed by the NPIC Photogrammetry
Division using the Moscow Metrical Trap and NPIC's Resection, Motion, and
Shape reduction programs.
Linear dimensions shown are considered accurate to within plus or minus
two percent or 0.05 feet, whichever is greater. Angular measurements are con-
sidered accurate to within plus or minus one degree.
NOTE: This report is published as an interim Basic Imagery Interpretation
Report with concurrence of the USAIIC.
