We wish to thank Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for some of the images and information on this page. We share information with Wikipedia.
The White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) is a rocket range of almost 3,200 square miles, located in parts of five different counties, located in southern New Mexico. It is also the largest military installation in the United States. The WSMR includes the Oscura Range and the WSMR Otera Mesa bombing range. The WSMR and the 600,000-acre, McGregor Range Complex at Fort Bliss to the south, form a contiguous swath of territory for military testing of missiles. White Sands tests the most advanced missile technologies. Many of the missiles such as, the THAAD don�t have explosive warheads anymore -- they must actually strike the target to destroy it. Also, very powerful lasers are now being used to bring down jets and missiles. The White Sands Museum includes an outdoor display of more than 50 rockets and missiles once tested on the missile range. It is called �Missile Park.� It includes the huge Redstone, the Nike family of missiles and several Navy sounding rockets. The Museum is open year-round. Admission is FREE. Hours on weekdays are 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Saturday and Sunday. Closed Holidays.
Although the Museum is located on an Army installation, it is open to the public. It is 22 miles east of Las Cruces and 44 miles west of Alamogordo, N.M. To visit; you are required to show your driver�s license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance for the vehicle. There is plenty of parking for RVs and trailers beside the building.
