Project Summary The US Space Force (USSF) Detachment 3, 21 Space Operations Squadron (Det 3, 21 SOPS) proposes to conduct Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) on Buildings 39005 & 39006 at Ka’ena Point Satellite Tracking Station (KPSTS). All repairs and work to be performed will be done as minor in-kind repairs or replacements of building or site features, elements or materials as part of routine maintenance. This work will not change the visual qualities of the buildings and there will be no change to the original/significant historic fabric of the buildings. KPSTS has requested SHPD’s concurrence with its conclusion that the proposed undertaking will have “no adverse effect” on Archeological, Native Hawaiian Cultural Resources or Historic Properties. The Section 106 consultation document will be available for review at the Waiʻanae Public Library and the Waialua Public Library during the review period ending on November 9, 2020.

This letter, and the attached information, fulfills the documentation standards found in 36 CFR 800.11 and supports our determination of No Adverse Effect. 3. In accordance with the standards of 36 CFR Part 68.3(a)(6) and (7), the maintenance will be conducted in a manner to preserve the historic character of the buildings. 4. Please direct questions or comments to Mr. Lance Hayashi by telephone at 697-4312, by mail at the above address, or via email to the following email address: [email protected]. BRANDON C. HAMMOND, Maj, USAF Commander 3 Attachments: 1. Attachment 1: Section 106 Proposal and Appendicies 2. Attachment 2: HAER HI-97-F (Building 39005) & G (Building 39006) 3.

TITLE OF UNDERTAKING: Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) at Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station B. PROPOSED START DATE: October 23, 2020. C. LOCATION: The Tax Map Key for this undertaking is 6-9-003:005 and is located at Kaena Point Satellite Tracking Station (Appendix A). There are two project sites for this undertaking and they are located at Buildings 39005 and 39006. D. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED UNDERTAKING: The US Air Force (USSF) Detachment 3, 21 Space Operations Squadron (Det 3, 21 SOPS) proposes to conduct periodic depot maintenance (PDM) on the B-side (Building 39005) & C-side legacy (Building 39006) antenna facilities at KPSTS. All repairs and work to be performed at these facilities and associated equipment will be done as minor in-kind repair or replacement of building or site features, elements or materials as part of routine maintenance. This work will not change the visual qualities of the buildings and there will be no change to the original/significant historic fabric of the buildings. Under this Proposed Action (PA), the existing legacy facilities and associated equipment, i.e. radomes, antennas, etc. at each of the buildings will undergo PDM work that will include the following: power washing using pressure and water, spot scrubbing, painting of exterior radome panels, touch up caulking around radome seams if required, corrosion control using a wire brush to remove visible corrosion on the radome frames if corrosion is identified and installing safety access points. SECTION II (Information from the Environmental Planning Office) A. IDENTIFY HISTORIC RESOURCES 1. ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES Building 39005 is a large radome constructed in 1968 (Appendix B) for its original mission of space vehicle radar (satellite) tracking and communications. Over its lifetime, Building 39005 has experienced mission changes as well as modifications, additions and renovations to its architecture, systems, mechanical equipment and mission equipment. 1 The building has reached a current age of 52 years. Building 39005 is associated with the KPSTS satellite tracking mission that began in the early 1960s and has significance related to Cold War activities. Building 39006 is a large radome that was constructed in 1972 (Appendix C) for its original mission of space vehicle (satellite) radar tracking and communications. Over its lifetime, Building 39006 has experienced mission changes as well as modifications, additions and renovations to its architecture, systems, mechanical equipment and mission equipment. The building has reached a current age of 48 years. Although less than 50 years old, Building 39006 is associated with the KPSTS satellite tracking mission that began in the early 1960s and has significance related to Cold War activities. In April 2012, KPSTS completed and submitted to the SHPD a Determination of Eligibility (DOE) for buildings at KPSTS that were potentially eligible for registry in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

  • The Historyof Spaceflight
    CHAPTER15 THEHISTORY AND HISTORIOGRAPHYOF NATIONALSECURITY SPACE’ Stephen B. Johnson e intent of this essay is to provide space historians with an overview of Th.the issues and sources of national security space so as to identify those areas that have been underserved. Frequently, ballistic missiles are left out of space history, as they only pass through space instead of remaining in space like satellites. I include ballistic missiles for several reasons, not the least of which is that they pass through space en route to their targets. Space programs originated in the national security (NS) arena, and except for a roughly 15-year period from the early 1960s through the mid-l970s, NS space expenditures in the United States (U.S.), let alone the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), have equaled or exceeded those of civilian pro- grams. Despite this reality, the public nature of government-dominated civil- ian programs and issues of security classifications have kept NS space out of the limelight. The recent declassification of the early history of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the demise of the Soviet Union have led to a recent spate of publications that have uncovered much of the “secret history” of the early Cold War. Nonetheless, much of NS space history has received little attention from historians. One feature of military organizations that is of great value for historians is their penchant to document their histories, and space organizations are no exception. Most military organizations have historians assigned to them, with professional historians at many of the positions documenting events as they occur.

  • Satellite Scoreboard
    AIR FORCE/SPACE DIGEST ALMANAC FEATURE . SATELLITE SCOREBOARD As of Am FORCE/SPACE DIGEST'S mid-March cutoff date for entries in this year's "Satellite Scoreboard," there were more space shots on the record than anyone could possibly have forecast just a few years ago, and we have attempted to set down all significant material on every shot that has been publicly announced. Unfortunately, our list this year is in some ways less complete than last year's because security regulations have shut off almost all data on military space shots beyond simple announcements that launches have been made. Barring changes in classification policies, this shortcoming will continue to obtain—creating an irony whereby as more hardware enters space, the less complete becomes the compendium. Information on Soviet shots, of course, is always minimal. Against this background, we have set down below and on the pages that follow the highlights of all data pres- ently available on US and Soviet space achievements. We are including, this year for the first time, entries on a number of suborbital and space-probe shots. Much of this information is based on NASA Historical Report No. 8, issued by the Office of Educational Programs and Services, Hq. NASA, Washington, D. C., published in January 1963, and for which quarterly supplements will be available. Another valuable source is the STL Space Log, published quarterly by the Office of Scientific and Engineering Relations, Space Technology Laboratories, Inc., Redondo Beach, Calif.
