[FPSPACE] Yasniy visit for Genesis-II launch

[Jim Oberg]

I'm just back from my visit to Yasniy for the Dnepr launch of Genesis-II.

Amazing trip -- lots to analyze and assess.

First goodie -- the launch pad appears to be the one designated 1-1 on
the START catalog of RS-20 silos in the Dombarovskiy ICBM field. It is
located about 8 km from the Kosmotras compound (hotel and payload
processing), at a heading of 278 deg true. 

We drove by it on the way back to the airport, but no photographs allowed.
One other pad to the right of the road about 5 km further west was, we were
told, still armed.
