- Main office building
- CSU-CHILL radome
- Mobile operations center (40ft ISO shelter)
- Sea-Pol home base (pad for 2x 20ft ISO shelters)
- W-band home base (pad for 1x 20ft ISO shelter)
- Storage shelter pad (houses 3x 40ft ISO storage containers, 1x 20ft radar shelter)
Site power infrastructure
The site receives a 208V, 400A 3-phase service, divided into 200A for the office building and 200A for the radar systems on-site. A variety of field power outlets are available, including:
| Current | Type | Connector | Backup |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200A | 3-phase, 208V | Hard-wired | Yes |
| 100A | 1-phase, 208V | Meltric DS100 receptacle | Yes |
| 30A | 3-phase, 208V | IEC60309 pin and sleeve | Yes |
| 30A | 3-phase, 208V | L15-30R | Yes (bldg ckt) |
| 60A | Split-phase, 208V | IEC60309 pin and sleeve | No |
| 30A | Single-phase, 208V | L6-30R | No |
The site has a 100 kVA diesel backup power generator designed to support the power needs of the site during multi-day power outages. An additional 25 kVA propane-fired generator supports the inflatable CSU-CHILL radome structure in the event of a main generator outage.
Network Connectivity
The CSU-CHILL site provides network connectivity (25 Mbit) through a wireless link. The link terminates at the University of Northern Colorado, which provides high-bandwidth connectivity via optic fiber to the CSU main campus.
Failover network connectivity is through a Starlink antenna.
