The complex and its facilities, which had opened in April 1975, were up and running for around eight months. During that time, the Missile Site Radar was a hive of activity, with hundreds of military and civilian personnel working there full-time.
In addition to the radar control pyramid and silos, the site boasted an underground power plant, administrative buildings, housing units, a community centre, a chapel, a post office, a gym, a bowling alley, a gas station and more.
