Edwards Air Force Base
United States
Edwards Air Force Base shares 47 connections with 3189 places across 7 topics, centered on military testing, aerospace research, government programs, and transportation systems. The base's connections run deep in military aviation and science: it was chosen for Space Shuttle orbiter testing after Nixon's 1972 announcement, and served as the Air Force Materiel Command center for flight research and development. It shares many connections with nearby Palmdale, California, and Kirtland Air Force Base, as well as a strong cluster tied to Germany through Operation Paperclip.
