They station was inititally built in the 50's, you should have seen the computer they used.
I was there up until last year during the computer upgrade, they were still using a 24bit ( no that's not a typo ) machine!
Neat job, I got to track the Magellan SpaceCraft.
Actually helping you track your station was a joke, it's a deepspace radar, we tracked syncronous and semi-syncronous objects. Then antenna doesn't move fast enough to track anything near earth. Besides, we would have to turn the power down, at 25 megawatts it would fry the occupants. That's why we had to stay clear of Mir! :)
