  • In 1963/4 the complex was modernised with two new large earth-mounded launch structures, 2A1 and 2A2, one of which partly intrudes on the old 1A2 pad area. The structures are rectangular and capped by elevated concrete platforms having large circular holes in their centers. The platforms are served by ramps which form the long axes of the structures, and which are oriented northwest-southeast. - http://www.ww2.dk/new/rvsn/graphics/ky-a-2a2.jpg
