This is too cool

this place is no more

there knocked the bowl off the top and now its upsidedown on the ground

looks like an igloo lol

i stil like it, would have been even better if there would have been really good grafitti...kinda looks like a spray can had been strapped to a giant chicken leg....but it was good none the less...go back out there and give it another shot, i bet it would turn out alot better...

there use to be 3 buldings there but they knocked them down u should have seen thos where really cool

i'm on this site all the time.. and this is the first time i'm seeing this photo.

while i spend most of my time glancing at the more sinister photos i must say.. this is AMAZING. i think i've found my new computer background.

thanks for sharing :-)

Motts Thank you for responding. I would love to see photographs of the inside of this satellite facility.

Orion's Belt is in the upper right portion of the photograph. Cool !!!

That's a sub-reflector, in the center of the antennas primary reflector there is a large "post" (called a feed horn) that houses the LNA's (Low Noise Amplifiers). You have it right in your description I just wanted to add the industry terms of the parts. Great photos and thanks for sharing them. I should have visited this place before I left Maryland...

what people would wreck a nice little stelite dish? it would look a lot better without with all the grafiti

you must have guts to go to all these freaky places btw

how do you get up there?

The inside would consist of a large space in the base and a small room near where the dish pivots, which still holds some electronic equipment... I returned last year in the day time and I have photos, but who knows when I will be able to get to them... I'm sure there are others on the web somewhere though.

Are there any photographs of the inside of this satellite facility ?
