Contest #232 answer: Mahdasht Satellite Receiving Station, Iran
This surely was hard to find. Even when you knew what you are looking for. I wonder how many of you found the location in Google Earth when you found the name in your search engine.
It is the Mahdasht Satellite Receiving Station / Alborz Space centre in Iran.
It was recently in the news when for the first time a group of Western Journalists was invited to visit this place.
It is a ground receiving station for the Iranian Civil Space program
A Special kudos to hhgygy for finding it without the hint and a honorable mention for mccrumplair for identifying the region.
