Indian Ocean? I'd suspect it's a radio relay or tracking station for the launch telemetry or imagery signals.


While we're turned the other way, they pick up the signals and radio forward. How'd I do?

A very good guess, but not correct (I think the NASA Deep Space Network antennas are in Australia; this place is too remote for the necessary equipment and support).

Since you're playing along, the relationship is geological.
