Sounding rocket launch site. In use from 1969 to present. Poker Flat Rocket Range (PFRR) contains five major launch pads. Pads 1 and 2 each have a 7.5K launcher, pads 3 and 4 each contain 20K MRL launchers, and pad 5 contains a 4K twin boom launcher. Pad 3 is equipped with a moveable launcher enclosure which can be used to protect a rocket on pad 3 and workers from the severe winter weather.

AKA: Fort Wainwright. First Launch: 1969-03-04. Last Launch: 2014-03-03. Number: 1073 . Location: Alaska. Longitude: -147.48 deg. Latitude: 65.13 deg.

The range facilities include an operations and office building, a 40 x 50 foot launch-control blockhouse complex, a 50 x 50 foot payload assembly building with a Class-100 clean room, a 260-foot instrumented meteorological tower, minicomputers to calculate wind weight parameters, and other buildings for rocket storage, assembly, and various operations and maintenance functions.

Range telemetry support is provided by two S-band auto-track systems, incorporating an 8-foot and a 16-foot dish, provided by NASA and located in a 50-foot dome on Middle Range. PFRR also contains a C-Band NASA Radar for vehicle tracking, radar for local air traffic, and a meteorological balloon inflation building. Additionally, the range includes an automated UMKEHR Dobson ozone spectrophotometer meteorological measurement station, and a Transportable Orbital Tracking System (TOTS).

Poker Flat is connected to the Geophysical Institute by means of a digital microwave system which has a 45 Mbit/s (DS3) capacity. The fully-redundant microwave system provides the data channels (including Internet access) and most of the telephone circuits used at PFRR.

Science support facilities include the Optical Observatory which hosts lidar experiments, and the T. Neil Davis Science Operations Center, which houses magnetometers, riometers, all-sky auroral cameras, a meridian-scanning photometer, a Fabry-Perot interferometer, and other observing instruments such as the low-light color television camera and video recorder for auroral research. Local tropospheric measurements are made at the Climate Change Monitoring station. Downrange observatories exist at Fort Yukon, Kotzebue, Kaktovik on the Arctic Ocean and Spitsbergen.

At the Geophysical Institute, the Data Analysis Center provides data processing and archiving services, as well as network services such as anonymous FTP and this WWW server.
