A mere week after formation, Project Trinity tested the first atomic bomb at an isolated site, which was 100 miles north on what was then part of the Alamogordo Bombing Range--a test site for B-17 pilots. Back at White Sands Proving Ground, as it was then named, personnel were unaware of the massive new weapon tested to their north. Instead their focus was upon the arrival of what would be 300 railroad cars of captured German V-2 rockets and associated equipment. Later that year, over 100 captured German scientists, among them Werner von Braun, would arrive at White Sands to assist in V-2 technology, launching America's race to space; tens of thousands of rockets and missiles have since been fired on the range. Thousands of family members also lived and worked at the range, and their stories can be found inside as well.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →WSMR (White Sands Missile Range) requires that all prospective Users who desire to use the National Range facilities, or to obtain National Range services, submit their requirements through the Universal Documentation System. This system is the only means by which WSMR formally accepts such requirements and prepares official plans for support of Range Users' programs. Exceptions to this requirement may be made when a program needs only limited logistical support, such as office space, utilities, etc., without submitting user requirements. (Author).
