U. S. Air Force Sergeant Jack L. Powell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Powell of Clinton, is a radar repairman at the Aero space Defense Command’s (A DC) gigantic new “phased array’ ra dar facility at Eglin AFB, Fla., that became operational last week. The first electronic sensor specifically designed to detect and track objects in space, the new radar provides capability for rapid warning of missile attack aimed at the southern United States. It also assists in Ameri can space missions by precise lo cation of earth-orbiting objects so that astronauts and other space vehicles can be positioned to a- void them. The complex computerized in stallation is operated bySergeant Powell’s unit, the 20th Surveill ance Squadron. It is the most ad vanced facility in the world-wide network of electronic and opti cal space surveillance sensors known as USAF SPACETRACK and the only one operated and maintained entirely by military personnel. Other sensors are staffed primarily with civilian contractor technici ns. Sergeant Powell works daily inside *he huge, right triangle shaped structure whose vertical side measures 13 stones high and whose sloped side, larger than a football field. It houses approxi mately 10,000 small transmitt ing and receiving antennas under its styrofoam face.
