. ,,4 mi ' IONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION l FI ,_._._H°ust°n IcMANNED SPACE TER Ai i e t. Texas 483-5111 February 25, 1970 RELEASED BY NASA HEADQUARTERS The National Aeronautics and Space Administration plans to place its White Sands_ New Mexico Test Facility on stand-by status in June of 1971. Mothballing could involve a reduction of employment at the facility from its present 641 to a caretaker force of about 50 after completion of the scheduled 1970-71 tests of the Apollo lunar module and the Skylab Program command and service modules. The Apollo tests at the facility involve lunar module extended tanks which increase the propellant load of the Apollo lunar-landing spacecraft_ while the Skylab tests include the reaction control rocket engines of the command and service modules to be used in Skylab's orbital workshop program. The decision to place WSTF on a stand-by condition is based on NASA's reduced FY 71 budget requests and the reduction of work in the Apollo program. However_ the facility will be kept in condition to allow a rapid resumption of work o n lunar modules in 60 to 90 days in the event NASA has such a future requirement. NASA Administrator Dr. Thomas O. Paine said: "The NASA facilities at White Sands are unique and valuable. We plan to consider them carefully for possible use in future NASA programs_ and to undertake a survey of possible uses by other Government agencies." -more-
Add 1 NASA shapes a portion of the White Sands range with the Department of Defense and the NASA facility is a small part of the total White Sands operation, which utilized more than 6_500 employees. The White Sands Test Facility at Las Cruces_ New Mexico_ is on the western edge of the U. S. Army White Sands Missile Range and occupies 55_861 acres of land as a tenant at this site. It has as its primary mission the performance of operational tests required to accomplish the development of propulsion systems of spacecraft for manned space flights. XXX
