Abstract:
Abstract During the summer months at the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command’s (ATEC) White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), forecasting thunderstorm activity is one of the primary duties of the range forecasters. The safety of personnel working on the range and the protection of expensive test equipment depend critically on the quality of forecasts of thunderstorms and associated hazards, including cloud-to-ground lightning, hail, strong winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and tornadoes. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Auto-Nowcast (ANC) system is one of the key forecast tools in the ATEC Four-Dimensional Weather System (4DWX) at WSMR, where its purpose is to aid WSMR meteorologists in their mission of very short term thunderstorm forecasting. Besides monitoring the weather activity throughout the region and warning personnel of potentially hazardous thunderstorms, forecasters play a key role in assisting with the day-to-day planning of test operations on the range by providing guidance with regard to weather conditions favorable to testing. Moreover, based on climatological information about the local weather conditions, forecasters advise their range customers about scheduling tests at WSMR months in advance. This paper reviews the NCAR ANC system, provides examples of the ANC system’s use in thunderstorm forecasting, and describes climatological analyses of WSMR summertime thunderstorm activity relevant for long-range planning of tests. The climatological analysis illustrates that radar-detected convective cells with reflectivity of ≥35 dBZ at WSMR are 1) short lived, with 76% having lifetimes of less than 30 min; 2) small, with 67% occupying areas of less than 25 km2; 3) slow moving, with 79% exhibiting speeds of less than 4 m s−1; 4) moderately intense, with 80% showing reflectivities in excess of 40 dBZ; and 5) deep, with 80% of the storms reaching far enough above the freezing level to be capable of generating lightning.

Abstract:
Very high angular resolution ultraviolet telescope (VAULT2.0) is a Lyman-alpha (Ly[Formula: see text]; 1216[Formula: see text]Å) spectroheliograph designed to observe the upper chromospheric region of the solar atmosphere with high spatial ([Formula: see text]) and temporal (8[Formula: see text]s) resolution. Besides being the brightest line in the solar spectrum, Ly[Formula: see text] emission arises at the temperature interface between coronal and chromospheric plasmas and may, hence, hold important clues about the transfer of mass and energy to the solar corona. VAULT2.0 is an upgrade of the previously flown VAULT rocket and was launched successfully on September 30, 2014 from White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). The target was AR12172 midway toward the southwestern limb. We obtained 33 images at 8[Formula: see text]s cadence at arc second resolution due to hardware problems. The science campaign was a resounding success, with all space and ground-based instruments obtaining high-resolution data at the same location within the AR. We discuss the science rationale, instrument upgrades, and performance during the first flight and present some preliminary science results.

Abstract:
The Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2), an Earth-observing laser altimetry mission, is currently providing global elevation measurements. Geolocation validation confirms the altimeter’s ability to accurately position the measurement on the surface of the Earth and provides insight into the fidelity of the geolocation determination process. Surfaces well characterized by independent methods are well suited to provide a measure of the ICESat-2 geolocation accuracy through statistical comparison. This study compares airborne lidar data with the ICESat-2 along-track geolocated photon data product to determine the horizontal geolocation accuracy by minimizing the vertical residuals between datasets. At the same location arrays of corner cube retro-reflectors (CCRs) provide unique signal signatures back to the satellite from their known positions to give a deterministic solution of the laser footprint diameter and the geolocation accuracy for those cases where two or more CCRs were illuminated within one ICESat-2 transect. This passive method for diameter recovery and geolocation accuracy assessment is implemented at two locations: White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico and along the 88°S latitude line in Antarctica. This early on-orbit study provides results as a proof of concept for this passive validation technique. For the cases studied the diameter value ranged from 10.6 to 12 m. The variability is attributed to the statistical nature of photon-counting lidar technology and potentially, variations in the atmospheric conditions that impact signal transmission. The geolocation accuracy results from the CCR technique and airborne lidar comparisons are within the mission requirement of 6.5 m.

Abstract:
An experimental study of entrainment of sand-sized particles in turbulent boundary layers has been performed in a high-speed wind tunnel at square-pulse flow speeds of 27 to 101 ms−1 and for soil bed lengths varying from 2.1 to 5.8 m. Because of high particle drag-to-weight ratios (D/W = 100–1000) and friction velocities (uf) well above soil threshold friction velocities (uft; 10 [les ] uf/uft [les ] 40), the present results correspond to the suspension regime of dust lofting, in contrast to low-speed saltation flows (1 [les ] uf/uft [les ] 5; D/W / 15). Results are obtained characterizing particle entrainment for both a natural soil (White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) sand; 50% finer-by-weight diameter, D50 = 180 μm) and a monosized sand sample (Ottawa sand, D50 = 250 μm). Measurements of local boundary layer velocities and dust densities were performed with traversing state-of-the-art diagnostics. Scouring rate data (0.015 [les ] ms [les ] 0.30 g cm−2 s−1) and streamwise soil flux (10 [les ] Q [les ] 150 g cm−1 s−1) as a function of bed length and velocity were determined.Scouring rates were found to increase as the 3/2-power of velocity, but decay as the inverse square root of dust bed length. Corresponding streamwise soil fluxes (also known as soil loss rates) increased to the 3/2-power of velocity in contrast to the cube power dependence for low-speed results (ufree-stream [les ] 15 m s−1; Q [les ] 1.5 g cm−1 s−1). Comparison of scouring rate data (from pre/post-test soil loss measurements) with derived data based on the rate of change of streamwise flux with distance was favourable. WSMR rates were always lower than Ottawa sand rates, a result consistent with the lower repose angle for the Ottawa sand sample.Both sets of soil data demonstrate that dust edges extend vertically to higher elevations than corresponding velocity edges. This result implies that the turbulent Schmidt number for the present flows is less than unity and of the order of 0.7. Favourable collapsing of the scouring rate data base was achieved when measured rates were normalized by the friction velocity mass flux, square root of edge Mach number and sand repose angle ratio. A universal rate of 0.3±0.1 correlated well with the bulk of the data.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California<br>White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) is developing a new transportable telemetry system that consolidates various telemetry data collection functions currently being performed by separate instrumentation. The new system will provide higher data rate handling capability, reduced labor requirements, and more efficient operations support which will result in a reduction of mission support costs. Seven new systems are planned for procurement through Requirements Contracts. They will replace current mobile systems which are over 25 years old on a one-on-one basis. Regulation allows for a sixty-five percent overage on the contract and WSMR plans to make this contract available for use by other Major Range Test Facility Bases (MRTFBs). Separate line items in the contracts make it possible to vary the design to meet a specific system configuration. This paper describes both current and replacement mobile telemetry system

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 04-07, 1991 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>Missile Flight Test Safety Managers (MFTSM) and other flight safety personnel at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) constantly monitor the realtime space position of missile and airborne target vehicles and the telemetered missile and target vehicle performance parameters during the test flight to determine if these are about to leave Range boundaries or if erratic vehicle performance might endanger Range personnel, Range support assets or the nearby civilian population. WSMR flight safety personnel rely on the vehicle telemetry system to observe the Flight Termination System (FTS) parameters. A realtime closed loop that involves the ground command-destruct transmitter, the vehicle command-destruct receiver (CDR), other FTS components, the missile S-band telemetry transmitter, and the ground telemetry acquisition/ demultiplex system is active when the vehicle is in flight. The FTS engineer relies upon telemetry to provide read-back status of the flight termination system aboard the vehicle. WSMR flight safety personnel use the telemetry system to assess realtime airborne vehicle systems performance and advise the MFTSM. The MFTSM uses this information, in conjunction with space position information provided by an Interactive Graphics Display System (IGDS), to make realtime destruct decisions about missiles and targets in flight. This paper will aid the missile or target developer in understanding the type of vehicle performance data and FTS parameters WSMR flight safety personnel are concerned with, in realtime missile test operations.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1989 / Town & Country Hotel & Convention Center, San Diego, California<br>Prior to 1985 the National Range had, for a number of years, serious and recurring mission support problems with the IBM 360 Telemetry Data Processing System due to equipment reliability and obsolescence of the system which was installed in 1968. These problems became particularly acute when higher data rate requirements and the need for reliable telemetry data processing dictated that prompt and unusual action was necessary if WSMR was to continue to provide telemetry data processing support. Realizing that the above cited problems of reliability and obsolescence would continue in detriment to the mission of WSMR, Department of Defense (DOD) and the nation, coupled with the loss of thousands of dollars in reimbursables due to WSMR's inability to support missile test requirements, the Systems Engineering Branch was tasked by the Director of National Range to lead a study, and propose and implement solutions to meet current and future requirements in telemetry data processing support. With the explosion in PCM data rates, it had become obvious that WSMR could not continue to upgrade existing systems and meet the demands of the future. More data parameters at higher data rates were being processed in PCM, FM, and PAM. Telemetry formats were becoming more complicated, such as embedded asynchronous subcomms and dynamic format changes. More real-time decisions had to be made for mission safety, verification of location, and mission success. WSMR needed a more versatile system that would synchronize, process and display higher data rates with more accuracy than it had at this time. This paper describes a historical perspective of steps WSMR has taken to satisfy present and future test vehicle telemetry data processing requirements.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1992 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California<br>White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) is the largest overland test range, operated by the Department of Defense, in the United States. It encompasses approximately 4000 square miles of south-central New Mexico. WSMR supports various missile, weapons system, and instrumentation development tests of the Army, Navy, Air Force, NASA, and other agencies, and controls the airspace and electromagnetic (EM) radiation on and around WSMR. Due to the large number of users at WSMR, the EM spectrum has become increasingly crowded and EM radiation control has become extremely important. For this reason, WSMR Regulation 105-10 (Telemetry Radio Frequency (RF) Spectrum Utilization) was adopted and states that all TM transmitters proposed for use at WSMR must be approved. These transmitters are approved upon determination that they meet the requirements set forth in the current Range Commander’s Council (RCC) Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) Document titled “Telemetry Standards”. (NOTE: This document will hereafter be referred to as RCC Document 106). This determination is performed by the White Sands Missile Range Director of Information Management (WSMR-IM) in the form of acceptance testing and analysis. This acceptance testing consists of the verification and analysis of the transmitter’s frequency stability, output power, and spurious and harmonic emission levels, in order to prevent EM interference between the many range users. The current test methodology will be explored in sufficient detail so that potential range users will know the procedures used to qualify TM transmitters for use at WSMR. Past methods and future testing considerations will also be briefly examined.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>This paper presents a history of telemetry at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. White Sands Missile Range is located in the Tularosa Basin between the San Andres and the Organ Mountains on the west and the Sacramento Mountains on the east. Designation of more than one million acres of New Mexico range land as a testing areas established White Sands Proving Ground on July 9, 1945 as the Birthplace of Americas Missile and Space activity. On July 16, 1945 the first Atomic Bomb was exploded at Trinity Site. Project Hermes began in November of 1944 with a contract to General Electric by the Ordnance Department to develop a long range guided missile for the Army. Missile testing began in September of 1945 with the firing of Tiny Tim missiles. The capture of German V2 rockets led to testing and firing V2s concurrently with the Hermes. The first two-stage rocket consisted of a WAC Corporal mounted on the nose of a V2. Bumper # 5 set flight records of 5,150 miles an hour and an altitude of 244 miles on February 24, 1949. The paper includes: *Chronological highlights of telemetering events. *Discussion of telemetry systems and events that occurred at WSPG/WSMR from 1944 through 1990. *Telemetry systems and events from 1990 to the present. *Planned future telemetry systems and probable future systems.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / November 04-07, 1991 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>Early in the 1980s White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) began studying the problem of updating the Telemetry Tracking Systems (TTS) used to support test range missions. The information and equipment available at that time indicated that very little technology advancement had occurred in the area of TTS. Because the TTS usually have a long service life, it was imperative that the new or updated systems be as good as the state-of-the-art in todays technology could produce. Because of the lack of technology advancements, it was evident that drastic measures would be required to achieve the objectives of the update effort. These findings resulted in a program called the Advanced Telemetry Tracking System Integration and Development (ATTSID). Its objective was to determine if it was possible to apply advanced computer technology to the solution of servosystem problems characteristic in most TTS. This paper and three related papers, The Advanced Telemetry Tracking Servosystem; An Automated Testing System for a Telemetry Tracking System; and The Microcomputer-based Digital Controller for the Advanced Telemetry Tracking System; document the objectives, design considerations, fabrication and evaluation of a prototype TTS. It utilizes a dedicated computer system to control, compensate the servo position loop, and provide automated testing of the servo and RF receiving systems. This computer system was installed and evaluated in one of the WSMR Transportable Telemetry Acquisition Systems (TTAS) for evaluation and refinement of the system. The results of this program will determine the evolution of TTS and extend the use of computer technology to providing more reliable and accurate telemetry tracking support of test range operations.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1988 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>Today's large missile testing ranges are demanding sophisticated processing and displays of telemetry data for real-time decisions. These present-day requirements created a need for better data handling and processing than those of the past. These requirements are driven by higher data rates, more complex formats, and increased real-time decision making (i.e., flight safety area). White Sands Missile Range's (WSMR's) initial real-time Telemetry Data Processing System was provided by IBM in 1969. This system was augmented several times by adding higher-speed telemetry front ends and preprocessors. However, this was not adequate to keep pace with requirements for data processing and display at WSMR. Presently, WSMR has Fairchild Weston Systems, Inc. (FWSI) under contract for a new Telemetry Data Handling System. This FWSI system will support WSMR's anticipated demands for now, for the next decade's planned growth, and beyond. This paper defines data-handling tasks at WSMR, explains how these tasks were handled in the past, and how they are presently handled. Next, the new system is described explaining how it fits into WSMR's present and future plans; and how it provides all the telemetry data handling, storage, processing, and display capabilities to support these tasks. Both hardware and software are discussed for this totally turn-key operating system.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>The White Sands Telemetry Data Center (TDC) is moving to a new home. The TDC, along with various range functions, is moving to the new J. W. Cox Range Control Center (CRCC). The CRCC is under construction and will replace the present control center. Construction of the new CRCC and the resulting move was prompted by the presence of asbestos in the present Range Control Center (RCC). The CRCC construction will be completed in September 1999 at which time the communications backbone will be installed. (Estimated time to complete the installation is nine months.) In early 2000, White Sands will begin transition of the TDC and other commodity functions to the CRCC. The transition must not interrupt normal support to range customers and will result in the consolidation of all range control functions. The new CRCC was designed to meet current and future mission requirements and will contain the latest in backbone network design and functionality for the range customer. The CRCC is the single point of control for all missions conducted on the 3700 square mile range. The Telemetry Data Center will be moved in two parts into the new CRCC. This will allow us to run parallel operations with the old RCC until the CRCC is proven reliable and minimize overall downtime. Associated telemetry fiber optics, microwave communications and field data relay sites will be upgraded and moved at the same time. Since the TDC is so tightly dependent upon data input from both fiber optics and microwave communications inputs, a cohesive move is critical to the overall success of the transition. This paper also provides an overview of the CRCC design, commodity transition, and lessons learned.

Abstract:
Soils of the Jornada Basin are the substrate on which Jornada ecosystems reside and interact. Understanding soils and plant–soil feedback processes have been integral to understanding vegetation change and desertification (Buffington and Herbel 1965; Schlesinger et al. 1990). Formal studies of Jornada soils extend back to 1918. The most detailed study of Jornada soils is the USDA-SCS Desert Soil-Geomorphology Project (Gile et al. 1981), a 400-mi2 study area that includes the southernmost areas of the Jornada Experimental Range (JER) and Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center (CDRRC). This chapter highlights findings of soil and geomorphology studies, discusses factors and processes of soil development, and lists several ways soils of the Jornada Basin carry a memory of past climates. In addition to the Veatch (1918) study and the Desert Soil-Geomorphology Project, other investigations of soil types in the Jornada Basin include three soil surveys by the Soil Conservation Service: the first was of Jornada Experimental Range (SCS 1963), the second was of the White Sands Missile Range that includes the eastern Jornada Basin and San Andres Mountains (Neher and Bailey 1976), and the third was of Doña Ana County (Bulloch and Neher 1980). The 1918 investigation by J.O. Veatch of soils of the Jornada Basin was a reconnaissance study of the Jornada physical landscape. The purpose of the investigation was to make observations on the relation between soils and native vegetation and of the effect of overgrazing on different soil types. Veatch divided the study area into the higher mountain slopes, the foothills, and the Jornada Plain (as he described it, the plain included the currently recognized basin floor and piedmont slope). He recognized that the Jornada Plain was of Pleistocene age and contained extinct lakes with gypsum precipitated from desiccating water. He wrote that little change existed between the soil and subsoil, that “in reality a description of ‘soils’ here is but little more than a description of the various lithologic phases, appearing at the surface of a recent geologic formation.”

Abstract:
Laser launch trajectories are being developed for boosting nano- and micro-satellite sized payloads (i.e., 1 to 100 kg) using a 7-Degree Of Freedom (DOF) flight dynamics model that has been extensively calibrated against 16 actual trajectories of small scale model lightcraft flown at White Sands Missile Range, NM on a 10 kW pulsed CO2 laser called PLVTS. The full system 7-DOF model is comprised of individual aerodynamics, engine, laser beam propagation, variable vehicle inertia, reaction controls system, and dynamics models, integrated to represent all major phenomena in a consistent framework. The suborbital trajectory results presented herein are for a 240 cm diameter lightcraft (100 kg payload; 100 MW beam power) flown under three different laser-boost scenarios: 1) liftoff and vertical climb-out on a vertically oriented laser beam; 2) liftoff and climb-out along a constant laser beam pointing angle (fixed azimuth and zenith) defined relative to the launch pad; 3) liftoff and climb-out on a beam with a time-varying pointing schedule (azimuth and zenith) to “slingshot” the lightcraft laterally, making maximum use of the engine’s autonomous beam-riding feature. For simplicity, simulations assume a solid ablative rocket propellant (e.g., Teflon®-like performance) with a vacuum specific impulse of 644 seconds, momentum coupling coefficient of 190 N/MW, and overall efficiency of 60%. This flight dynamics model and associated 7-DOF code provide a physics-based predictive tool for basic research investigations into laser launched lightcraft for suborbital and orbital missions. An investigative protocol was developed to identify and quantify phenomena that dominate each phase of the launch trajectory. These protocols are specified herein, along with physics-based explanations for such phenomena, both predicted and observed.

Abstract:
Piezoelectric sensors are used in many structural health monitoring (SHM) methods to interrogate the condition of the structure to which the sensors are affixed or imbedded. Among SHM methods utilizing thin wafer piezoelectric sensors (PWAS), electro-mechanical impedance monitoring is seen as a promising approach to assess structural condition in the vicinity of a sensor. Using the converse and direct piezoelectric effects, this health monitoring method utilizes mechanical actuation and electric voltage to determine the impedance signature of the structure. If there is damage to the structure, there will be a change in the impedance signature. It is important to discern between actual damage and environmental effects on the piezoelectric ceramic sensors and the structure. If structural health monitoring is to be implemented in space structures on orbit, it is imperative to determine the effects of the extreme space environment on piezoelectric sensors and the structures to which they are affixed. The space environment comprises extreme temperatures, vacuum, atomic oxygen, microgravity, micro-meteoroids and debris, and significant amounts of radiation. Radiation in space comes from three sources: solar events, background cosmic radiation, and trapped particles in the Van Allen Belts. Radiation exposure to structures on orbit will vary significantly depending on the duration of the flight and the altitude and inclination of the orbit. In this contribution, the effect of gamma radiation on piezoelectric ceramic sensors and space grade aluminum is investigated for equivalent gamma radiation exposure to 3-months, six-months, and 1-year on Low Earth Orbit (LEO). An experiment was conducted at White Sands Missile Range, Gamma Radiation Facility using Cobalt-60 as the source of radiation. A free PWAS and a PWAS bonded to a small aluminum beam were exposed to increasing levels of gamma radiation. Impedance data were collected for both sensors after each radiation exposure. The total radiation absorbed dose was 200 kRad (Si) by the end of the experiment. The results show that piezoelectric ceramic material is affected by gamma radiation. Over the course of increasing exposure levels to Cobalt-60, the impedance frequency of the free sensor increased with each absorbed dose. The impedance measurements of the sensor bonded to the aluminum beam reflects structural and sensor’s impedance. The data for this sensor show an increase in impedance amplitude with each level of absorbed dose. The mechanism at work in these impedance changes is suggested and future experimental work is identified. A survey of previous results of radiation exposure of piezoelectric ceramic sensors and aluminum alloys is presented and are compared to previous studies.
