Nation's initial weather satellite programs in the 1960s. The 9-meter antenna and 12-
meter antenna have been determined eligible to the National Register of Historic Places
using Guidelines for Evaluating and Nominating Properties that Have Achieved
Significance Within the Past Fifty Years (National Register Bulletin 22). The antenna's significance relates to both the large-scale weather data collection and the earlier geophysical satellite programs developed under fledgling National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) activities at the dawn of the Space Age.
