Athena Missile Assembly Building

This angle on the assembly building provides a good view of the whole area. The blast berm and wall are on the left. The load in and out area is behind the bush and the hardened building itself is next to that.

The black pile behind the building and water tower was not part of the base when it was active. It is a gigantic radioactive tailing and debris containment pyramid.

 

 

I've added notes to the frame indicating the locations mentioned above.

 

Green River Launch Complex and Missile Base, Green River, Utah.
