NASA's White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) is a government-owned, government-operated aerospace testing facility located in southern New Mexico near Las Cruces. WSTF is a Directorate-level component of the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) located in Houston, Texas. The majority of WSTF's testing and research is directly related to JSC and NASA's manned spaceflight programs.The prime contractor, Honeywell Technology Solutions, Inc. (HTSI) employs the bulk of contractor personnel. Two other smaller subcontractors are part of the HTSI contractor team; L & M Technologies, who provide scientific, computing, and other miscellaneous site support, and Lynx, Ltd., who provide environmental expertise and management as the site Environmental Department.
Environmental compliance at WSTF is composed of two major categories: hazardous waste management and contamination assessment activities including soil and groundwater monitoring. The Environmental Department also provides an on-going regulatory review of new and proposed requirements at both the State and Federal levels, and prepares written impact assessments and compliance strategies for NASA.
