Ostovar
Andrew Ross, a Ph.D. candidate in Georgetown Universityâs History Department, will discuss the diplomatic negotiations that went into establishing the
hemispheric-spanning network of missile tracking stations, the âAtlantic range,â after World War II. Beginning at Cape Canaveral, the Atlantic range eventually extended past the coast of South Africa and included 13 integrated tracking stations to test, talk
to, and track experimental missiles across thousands of miles of flight. But the politics of basing tracking stations on foreign soil was not simple. Ross will trace the diplomatic wranglings between the U.S. negotiators and the national and local interests
at strategically placed tracking sites across the Atlantic.
