Launch Area C (57-48N 33-07E) consists
of a completed Type IID launch site and a site
support facility (Figure 1). It is situated in
a heavily wooded area 17.7 nautical miles (nm)
west-southwest of the complex support facility.

Security fencing is not apparent around
the launch site. There are 16 buildings in the
launch site. An earth-mounded missile-ready
building, canted outward about 15 degrees, is
600 feet behind the right pad. Two earth-
mounded missile-ready buildings serve the left
pad: one is 600 feet behind the pad and canted
outward about 10 degrees, and the other is
625 feet behind the pad and canted inward
about 25 degrees. Two canted earth-mounded
buildings are inboard of each pad and three
earth-mounded buildings are in line down the
center of the site. An erector /shelter is on
each pad. Three buildings, including a T-
shaped building, are northeast of the missile-
ready building which serves the right pad.
An earth-mounded building is 800 feet south of

the left pad, adjacent to the site access road.
The left pad and the road connecting it to the
two missile-ready buildings appear darker in
tone than the other roads in the area. The
buildings adjoin the launch site near the pair
of missile-ready buildings serving the left pad.
The site support facility is divided into an
administration and housing section and a prob-
ble construction /support section. This site
support facility may also be utilized by Launch
Site 11, which is located approximately 4,200
feet north-northwest. The administration and
housing section is 2,705 feet southeast of
Launch Site C. It contains 50 buildings, in-
cluding 15 barracks-type buildings, 2 L-shaped
buildings, and 33 buildings of various sizes.
The probable construction/ support section is
4,790 feet southeast of the launch site. It
contains 25 buildings, 9 of which are barracks
type buildings, and a vehicle/equipment pool.
Judging by the location, the probable con-
struction/support section may possibly be an
auxiliary support facility for the western half
of the ICBM complex.
