Justin Lee, 15th Space Surveillance Squadron Tako Raven Program director, mount the 14-inch Celestron Space Domain Awareness Telescope to its base as Dr. David Strong, U.S. Air Force Academy Falcon Telescope Network support contractor, observes at Cerro Moreno Air Force Base near Antofogasta, Chile, March 27, 2023. The telescope will spend the next five months tracking satellites along the equator, allowing U.S. and Chilean air and space forces to collect data that will determine where future SDA sites should be placed.
