Mozhaysk
N 55°26' E 35°46'
Mozhaysk is the storage facility closest to Moscow. Corona Mission 1114-2 of 1 April 1971 shows it contained approximately 6-8 storage bunkers. The maintenance and military housing areas are visible. A soccer-field is also discernable and provides a convenient yard-stick for estimating the size of the facility and the structures within. The Mozhaysk facility is also unusual in that it appears a two-bunker regional RTB storage facility is part of the larger facility.
