Onizuka Air Force Station
Onizuka Air Force Station

Better known as the "Blue Cube" for its four-story windowless blue building that dominates the property. No planes here... they "fly" satellites.

Onizuka AFS is slated for closure by September 15, 2011. The Data Link Terminal will probably be closed sometime in 2009, and the DSCS-III SATCOM terminal (located on the south side of the station) and its mission will be relocated to Vandenberg.
