New Boston Air Force Satellite Tracking Station (NBAFSTS)

The New Boston Air Force Station is situated in southeast New Hampshire, in Hillsborough County, approximately 12 miles west of the city of Manchester. The station occupies 2826 acres (plus easements of 49.43 acres), of which approximately 125 acres are developed with the remaining area consisting of forest, ponds, and wetlands. The undeveloped areas are designated as wildlife forage areas, and limited recreational use (camping and fishing) is allowed. The land occupied by the NBAFSTS has undergone several organizational and functional changes since its first military use in 1942.
