CORONA Satellite Images of Taiwan SAM Sites (CORONA眼中的台灣防空飛彈陣地) Part 1

Posted on April 25, 2010

All black-and-white images were taken by either CORONA KH-4A Mission 1035 on Sept 27, 1966, or KH-4B Mission 1106 on Feb 11, 1969. Color images are courtesy of Google Earth. The information on the SAM sites was provided by the excellent IMINIT & Analysis blog. 這裡的黑白照片都是美國的CORONA衛星在1966年9月的1035號任務或1969年2月的1106號任務中拍攝的。彩色的部份則是Google Earth提供。所有飛彈陣地的位置資訊都是透過IMINIT & Analysis這個部落格公開取得,所以無知的官員不要大驚小怪或無端擾民。

    Nike-Hercules SAMs have since retired. Today, the site is occupied by the indigenous Tien Kung (天弓) missiles:

  • Tamshui (淡水) HAWK site (+25° 12′ 12.09″, +121° 25′ 40.72″)

    It is hard to tell if the site had become operational in 1966:

    The launch pads are visible in the 1969 image:

    The arrangement of the launch pads has changed little for the past forty years. As of the writing of this post, it remains an active HAWK battery:
