Description
Smiley and 26 West Antennas at PARI.
Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute is a wonderful place to visit and study astronomical science. Located within the foothills of the Southern Appalachian Mountains near Rosman, North Carolina, PARI was once a NASA satellite tracking station and then a Department of Defense outpost before it became an educational campus of science research.
When the Department of Defence occupied the site, the US Government knew Russian spy satellites were watching the facility and decided to paint a "smiley face" on one of the smaller antennas to let the Russians know that we knew they were watching the place :)
