Hanscom AFRL inactivates
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. – Dr. George Jumper, Air Force Research Laboratory’s Defensive Space Control Foundations section chief, packs up books and equipment from the Environmental Satellite Data Facility June 1. The facility at one time received data from three weather satellite systems using very large antennae on the roof. The satellite data and other weather information were processed by the computers that were in the room, and the results of many years of information have been archived on terabytes of data storage systems.
