The Second Life Of A CIA Double Agent (2014)
Pine Gap(сосновая брешь) is the commonly used name for a satellite ground station approximately 11 mi southwest of the town of Alice Springs, Northern Territory in the centre of Australia which is operated by both Australia and the United States. Since 1988, it has been officially called the Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap; previously, it was known as Joint Defence Space Research Facility. Operations started in 1970 when about 400 American families moved to Central Australia. The number of staff had increased from around 400 in the early 1980s to 600 in the early 1990s and then to an expected 1, 000. The biggest expansion occurred after the end of the Cold War.
