About 15km east of Stone Town, near the village of Tunguu, lie the rusting remains of an American Satellite Tracking Station. This Station was built in 1960 to track and communicate with the first American manned Space Missions.
Kiasi cha kilomita 15 mashariki ya Mji Mkongwe, karibu ya kijiji cha Tunguu, yapo mabaki yaliyochakaa ya kituo cha Rada cha Kimarekani. Kituo hiki kilijengwa mwaka 1960 kwa ajili ya kunasia na kuwasiliana na misheni ya mwanzo ya kimarekani ya kwenda angani.
