New Boston Air Force Station

New Boston Air Force Station (NBAFS) is located in Hillsborough County in south central New Hampshire, approximately 12 miles northwest of Manchester. NBAFS falls within the boundaries of three towns, Amherst, Mont Vernon and New Boston and is comprised of approximately 2,826 acres of federally owned land. Only 200 acres have been developed to support the Air Forces operational mission, the remaining acreage is largely undeveloped. The military established the installation in 1942 as an aerial bombardment and gunnery range for the Army Air Corps and later transitioned the property to the Air Force.

Bombing activities were terminated in 1956 and by 1958 portable radar tracking equipment was set-up and the installation was renamed NBAFS. In 1959, the installation was designated an Air Force Satellite Control Facility and by 1964, permanent structures had been constructed. The Air Force Space Command assumed control of the installation in 1987. NBAFS reports through its parent wing, the 50th Space Wing located at Schriever Air Force Base.

Currently, NBAFS serves as one of eight worldwide Air Force Satellite Control Network Tracking Stations, providing critical satellite command and control capability to Department of Defense (DOD) and civilian satellites. NBAFS also supports National Aeronautics and Space Administration Space Shuttle missions as well as National Atlantic Treaty Organization and other allied nations satellite operations.  (Source: des.nh.gov)
