File Description:
Joint Defense Facility Pine Gap is a satellite tracking station in the Australian outback operated by the United States intelligence community. The location is strategically significant because it controls United States spy satellites as they pass over the one third of the globe which includes China, the Asian parts of Russia and the Middle East. Central Australia was chosen because it was too remote for spy ships passing in international waters to intercept the signal. The facility has been described as the ground control and processing station for geosynchronous satellites engaged in signals intelligence collection. JDF Pine Gap is ran by the CIA, NSA, and NRO and is a key location in the global ECHELON surveillance network. Includes a helipad startup location with YPGP ident. Scenery by Jason L. Terry.
