English: This component is located in the southern portion of the main operations area. It consists of a 105-foot tracking dish mounted on an azimuth/elevation pedestal, a large U-shaped control building, control/support buildings, and several small support buildings. Adjacent to the antenna and on two sides arc rosette patterns of devices/structures which are used when the dish has been lowered for maintenance or modification. A crane used to lower and erect the dish is present on the latest coverage. A 105-foot dish antenna such as this one would permit communications and telemetry reception at lunar distances. The antenna is operational. (CIA report "Simferopol Space Flight Center". June 1969 )
