Plesetsk LC16/2
Part of Plesetsk
R-7 launch complex. Complex 16 was the second R-7A ICBM launch complex to become operational at Plesetsk, in 1960. In 1969, Pad 2 was cannibalized to upgrade the Area 1 facility in Baikonur. Pad 2 was not again brought into operation until 1979. It was then completely renovated as a space launch pad for Molniya 8K78M/Soyuz 11A511U class vehicles. The first launch was on 19 February 1981, and it continued in use in this role into the 21st Century.

First Launch: 1981-02-19. Last Launch: 2012-05-17. Number: 136 . Longitude: 40.68 deg. Latitude: 62.96 deg.

The complex followed the design of the prototype facility built at Area 31 of Baikonur and included its own residential area for military personnel and assembly buildings for launchers and payloads. The launchers were assembled and integrated with their payload in a horizontal position and transported to the launch pad by the railway. As operational ICBM facilities, the complex consisted of: Launch pad 2; Assembly Hall 4; and Residential Area 16.
