To be honest I was quite surprised you can actually see it from your latitude....from what I can find out its not strictly IFN its something called ERE (Extended Red Emission) and is part of a broader bandwidth...who knows its a new one on me too!!

If I owned or leased this mega super expensive facility , I’d definitely install a diesel generator with a 5 day main tank and day tank , back up solar charging system , an Emerson full on line UPS and an ATS (automatic transfer switch)
My 2 cents ....

The systems all have their own UPS's including the roof. The power rarely goes off but these protocols are purely to keep the equipment safe...even loss of internet then the roof will close until it detects a reconnection..... better to be safe and waist a few hours of imaging.
