One civilian in a light blue shirt is seated at a control workstation operating the equipment, while two military personnel in camouflage uniforms observe. The telescope is a large, professional-grade instrument mounted on an orange and white motorized mount.

    Two military personnel in camouflage uniforms are performing a ribbon-cutting ceremony at night in front of a large white radome (dome-shaped antenna enclosure). The ceremony appears to mark the inauguration or activation of a satellite communications or radar installation. Both individuals are holding scissors and cutting a blue ribbon stretched across the facility.
