The Pan'kovo test range is a missile launch site of the Russian Armed Forces. The site is located 170 km north of Rogachevo air base on Yuzhny Island of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Personnel can arrive at the test range via helicopters from the air base.

As of July 2025 the Pan'kovo test range has no port. Instead, in recent years a floating jetty has been placed at the shore during the summer and cargo from arriving ships is brought to shore by barges. One vessel that has delivered cargo to the test site is Rosatomflot's nuclear-powered cargo ship Sevmorput that can float out lighters with containers.
