You can see it from afar: the "silver sphere" of the former Air Traffic Control Centre (ATCC). From here, Belgian airspace and military air traffic were monitored. Only the radar beneath the sphere remains active for the time being; the rest has already been relocated to Steenokkerzeel.

The 'Silver Sphere' of the Air Traffic Control Center (ATCC) or Semmerzake Air Force Base. From here, the Belgian airspace is monitored 24/24 hours. The ATCC also provides assistance to aircraft in distress and assistance with detection.
