Kauai Test Facility (KTF) Communications Facility

Kauai Test Facility Communications


Control room in the Launch Operations Building (LOB)

Several hardwired communications nets and four radio nets are available throughout KTF. Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii have radio repeater sites that may be used to link instrumentation at those locations. A closed-circuit television system distributes text data (including current countdown status and real-time graphics displays) to operational sites and provides safety and security monitors of activities occurring throughout the launch field.
