The NASA White Sands Test Facility (WSTF), located on the west slope of the San Andres mountains between Las Cruces, New Mexico, and the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), is a component of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
WSTF was constructed in 1963 to support the Apollo Project. It occupies 94 square miles in the southwest corner of the White Sands Missile Range. It has 98 buildings and 311,000 square feet. The test facility's plant value is $200 million, and its annual budget is $40 million.
The present workforce is 1200 people (over seventy percent scientific/technical): One half WSTF, the other half TDRSS and USAF employees. WSTF has 59 NASA Civil Service employees, and 485 contractors. TDRSS has 9 NASA Civil Service employees and 610 contractors.
WSTF also operates the White Sands Space Harbor (WSSH) which provides approach and landing training for Space Shuttle astronauts and serves as an alternate orbiter landing site.
