I am surprised that no one has caught me yet!  In my note a few days ago
about launch sites I mentioned 3 in the USSR:

	Plesstk
	Kapustin Yar
	Balkaunaur

I also cautioned about my spelling of Russian words, which has not improved in
this note. 

I have now found out the Balkaunaur is NOT a launch site.  I think it may
be either the peopled space flight control center, or the cosmonaut training
center or both (like JSC).  In any case, the missing launch site is:

	Tyuratum

Also, Umesh P. Hiriyannaiah tells me that there are two launch sites in India:

	Sriharikota, off the coast of Andhra Pradesh

and

	Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC) in  Kerala
