Example images associated with the CSU-CHILL deployment for the STEPS project. Upper left: Concrete antenna / radome foundation pad poured at the Burlington – Kit Carson County Airport. A foundation of this type was needed for any CHILL radar deployment. Upper right: Antenna assembly. This picture shows the second generation / 1994 center fed antenna. The original 1971 CHILL antenna used a similar manual process to assemble the backup structure and reflector panels. Lower left: Crane adding the antenna positioning section to the top of the pedestal support tube structure. Lower right: Crane maneuvering radome over the antenna. Once the radome base was attached to the perimeter of the antenna foundation pad, the inflation blowers were turned on. Approximately 20 – 30 minutes after the start of the inflation process, the radome would reach operational pressure and shape. Under favorable weather conditions, installing the CHILL radar at a remote deployment site required ~5 workdays.
