Additional Details:
The station was built for Project Telstar experiments on overseas telephone and television service via satellites in space. The radome is the largest air-inflated structure in the world and is 161 feet high and 210 feet across. It is made of fabric and synthetic rubber and if laid flat on the ground would cover 3 acres
