Extractions: The Association of the United States Army (AUSA), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC), will sponsor an unclassified symposium Dec. 10-12, 2002, at the Judson F. Williams Convention Center in El Paso, Texas. This years conference theme is Integrated Air and Missile Defense in a Transforming World. Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) is a joint, overarching concept tying together a network of space-based and terrestrial sensors, command and control capabilities and complementary weapon systems to protect the homeland and defeat anti-access strategies of potential adversaries. IAMD must be prepared to deal with the full range of possible threatsincluding ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, manned aircraft and unattended aerial vehicles. For this reason, IAMD is a critical enabler for both homeland defense and future Objective Force operations. The symposium will consist of individual and panel presentations, with corresponding dialogue on the following topics: The Changing Strategic Environment, Operationalizing Integrated Air and Missile Defense for the Objective Force and SolutionsGetting from Here to There.

Extractions: Another major organization that would never have been launched without White Sands is the NASA White Sands Test Facility just east of Las Cruces. NASA was able to piggyback on the White Sands rocket and missile test mission for its own rocket engine testing. Without White Sands and the NASA facility, there would not have been a space shuttle landing in New Mexico.

Extractions: WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. The DC-X successfully pitched its nose 10 degrees below the horizon at 8,200 feet, rotated 180 degrees and traveled 2,100 feet down range. The experimental single-stage-to-orbit rocket continued to push the limits during its eighth flight test today at 7:02 a.m. MDT at the Army's White Sands Missile Range. The McDonnell Douglas vehicle is managed by the Air Force Phillips Laboratory in support of the NASA reusable launch vehicle program. Flight test support is provided by the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center's Space and Missile Test and Evaluation Directorate. At the conclusion of the flight, the DC-X was officially turned over to NASA. Lt. Col. Jess Sponable presented a plaque attesting to the turnover to NASA Program Manager Dan Dumbacher. McDonnell Douglas will integrate key advanced technology components into the vehicle under a contract with NASA. The upgraded vehicle will be called the DC-XA. In early 1996, the DC-XA will return to White Sands Missile Range for static hot fire and flight tests that could began as early as mid-1996. Phillips Laboratory will act as NASA's Deputy for Flight Test and Operations, managing the final DC-XA flight tests.

Extractions: I want to see a cohesive, regional economic development strategy for southeast New Mexico that will protect and expand the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant project, potash mining, the oil and gas industry and aerospace industries at Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range. We shall become a world-class center for excellence in the nuclear, oil and gas, and aerospace industries. (Carlsbad Current Argus, NM). Even while serving the Army in research and development at White Sands Missile Range, the Rhizors planned ahead for possible retirement to South Mississippi's Naval Home - now the AFRH. Though still acclimating to the humidity after years in a New Mexico desert, Rhizor says, "I always liked the water and warm weather.". The Rhizors say they also enjoy the activities and camaraderie among their peers and especially not having to cook. (SunHerald.com, MS).

Extractions: TRINITY SITE Trinity Site is where the first atomic bomb was tested at 5:29:45 a.m. Mountain War Time on July 16, 1945. The 19 kiloton explosion not only led to a quick end to the war in the Pacific but also ushered the world into the atomic age. All life on Earth has been touched by the event which took place here. The 51,500-acre area was declared a national historic landmark in 1975. Included on the Trinity Site tour is Ground Zero where the atomic bomb was placed on a 100-foot steel tower. A small monument now marks the spot. Visitors also see the McDonald ranch house where the world's first plutonium core for a bomb was assembled. The missile range provides historical photographs and a Fat Man bomb casing for display. There are no ceremonies or speakers. Trinity Site is open to the public twice a yearon the first Saturday in April and October. Portable toilet facilities are available on site. Hot dogs and sodas are sold at the parking lot. Cameras are allowed at Trinity Site, but their use is strictly prohibited anywhere else on White Sands Missile Range. In deciding whether to visit ground zero at Trinity Site, the following information may prove helpful to you.

Extractions: WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. The Delta Clipper Experimental launch vehicle (DC-X) continued to push the limits during its seventh flight test today at 8:38 a.m. MDT at the Army's White Sands Missile Range. A problem with the telemetry receiver link cancelled the test originally scheduled for June 2. The single-stage, vertical-takeoff, vertical-landing rocket reached an altitude of 5,700 feet, 1,350 feet more than the last flight on May 16. In addition, the experimental vehicle increased its angle-of-attack maneuvers to gather data on aerodynamics and flight controls. During the ascent, the DC-X traveled 1,950 feet down range and flew sideways at 110 feet per second back to the landing site. The DC-X descended at 200 feet per second as compared to the 145 foot per second rate of the earlier flight. Total flight time was 2 minutes and 12 seconds. The DC-X, built by McDonnell Douglas, is managed by the Air Force Phillips Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., in support of the NASA reusable launch vehicle program. Air Force flight test support is provided by the Space and Missile Systems Center's Space and Missile Test and Evaluation Directorate, also at Kirtland, in support of the NASA reusable launch vehicle program.
