Space stations eyed for South Texas sites
South Texas and NASA plan two space research stations near Fronton in Starr County and east of Raymondville in Willacy County. Each site will host a transmitting station with a mile long antenna, employing about 20 personnel. The Navy views the project as expanding satellite detection and tracking capabilities, tying into the space surveillance system and Cape Kennedy operations.
