The image depicts a large, white satellite dish or radar antenna structure in a desert or rural landscape. The dish appears to be mounted on a metallic frame and is surrounded by smaller support structures. The background shows mountains and a blue sky with some clouds. The image has a black and white, monochrome aesthetic.

The black and white image shows a large parabolic satellite dish or radio telescope mounted on a movable base. The dish is constructed with a lattice or mesh-like structure. The base allows the dish to rotate and tilt to point in different directions. The massive dish dominates the scene, towering over some smaller structures and vehicles on the ground near its base. Mountains can be seen in the background under a partly cloudy sky. The caption indicates this is a 85' parabolic reflector antenna at China Lake, California that can radiate 100KW of power at 130-156 and 400-450 MHz frequencies. It was designed by the Airborne Instruments Lab and installed in 1958.

This is a black and white photograph from 1985 showing a large solar furnace facility at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The image features a massive parabolic reflector array mounted on a frame structure. The reflector appears to be made up of a grid of mirrors designed to concentrate solar energy. In the background, there's a control tower-like building and desert mountains visible on the horizon. The solar furnace was used to study the effects of thermal radiation on electronic circuits, materials and missile equipment. The image has a technical, scientific quality typical of military research facility documentation from that era. There's a handwritten caption at the bottom of the photograph providing details about the facility's location and purpose.
