Comments

  • This is offically a facility run by the USAF on behalf of the NRO as a downlink station for spy satellites that take pictures of the Earth. One of several related facilities built during the Cold War, and which are still in service today.
  • BOSS is used for telemetry and tracking, as are all AFSCN tracking sites.
