Parallel Tracks = Moving 230 tons @ 10 stories high.
WOW!!! this thing actually lifts and moves 460,000 pounds.
27 of these antennas work together to take pictures ( One real big camera ) Imagine a camera that cost $78,600,000.00 in 1981 dollars. To do this with one antenna would require the antenna to be 17 miles in diameter.
Directions: 50 miles west of Socorro, New Mexico on U.S. Highway 60
To the photos
