Launch Pad PU-20, "right" pad.
The two-pad launch complex at Site 90 on the western edge of Baikonur was orginally built to test the UR-200 missile. It flew nine missions from the site in 1963 and 1964, before the program was canceled.
By 1967, Site 90 was refurbished for the Tsyklon-2 launcher, including delivery vehicles for anti-satellite weapons and nuclear-powered spy satellites for the Soviet navy.
The facility PU-20 remained operational at the beginning of the 21st century. More than 100 launches took place from the site.
