March 2017 - The Maui Space Surveillance Complex, which
belongs to Air Force Space Command, is home to several telescopes
that track objects orbiting the earth, such as satellites and space
debris. The complex is located 10,000 feet above sea level on top of
Haleakala, a dormant volcano on the island, that is also considered
one of the best places on Earth to view space from.
This time lapse sequence was
captured over a three-day period by a team from Airman
magazine, the U.S. Air Force's official publication.
