The southern transmitting array at Yevpatoriya and the northern receiving arrays were separated to prevent the transmitting antenna from interfering with the receiving antennas.

The Soviet newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda published an article in 1963 referring to the Yevpatoriya tracking station and its role in Soviet planetary programs.

By early 1970 the north facility at Yevpatoriya contained five large antennas and photography revealed an excavation for a possible second large space tracking antenna at the south site.

The extent of any damage to Yevpatoriya from the August and September 2025 attacks is publicly unknown.

In September 2025 the Ukrainian military released a video showing a drone approaching the RT-70 dish at the Yevpatoriya facility before the video went blank.

On September 10, 2025 a Russian surface-to-air missile failed to destroy a drone before the drone impacted a control building at the 3762/4 observatory and exploded.

In recent years Russia developed new optical space tracking facilities including one at Yevpatoriya that contains four optical telescopes as part of the Pritsel military space surveillance system.

Ukraine appears to believe that the 3762/4 observatory and the RT-70 dish at Yevpatoriya are associated with the GLONASS navigation system.

In late August 2025 Ukrainian drones attacked the 3762/4 observatory and simultaneously approached the RT-70 dish a few kilometers away.

The central site at Yevpatoriya contained a 70-meter-diameter satellite dish designated RT-70 that became operational in the 1970s.

The Soviet government designated the Yevpatoriya facilities as NIP-16, with site 1 near Vitino, site 2 near Zaozyornoe, and site 3 near Molochnoe.

The Yevpatoriya facility was intended to support Soviet lunar and planetary missions during the 1960s.

The United States planned the STONEHOUSE deep-space interception program and built a single STONEHOUSE station in Ethiopia starting in 1963.
