The ranges over-lan- d nature gives it some definite advantage!. Recovery preparations are simplified becauae the missiles impact on land. Tracking and data collection procedural are facilitated by the capability of having permanently positioned instrumentation sites along a. missile's flight path. During WSMR'a twentieth year, two major additions were made to the ranges facilities. THE $1 K million McAfee Army Hospital, a modem facility, was opened in July 1964 to provide the beat medical care possible for WSMR's military personnel and their families. The Nuclear Effects Laboratory, recently named Nuclear Effects Branch, was opened in August and began operation! studying the radiation effects on missile components. The lab is equipped with the U. S. Army's only unshielded fast burst reactor which can generate the radiation effects at a nuclear explosion without the heat and blast. Miaaile and space technology made several giant strides this pest year at White Sands. IN FEBRUARY, a high acceleration experimental missile booster, called the HIBEX was fired for the first time. Due to the high acceleration of this rocket a noise similar to a sonic boom was created. Another important first at foe range was the successful firing of a Sprint miaaile, foe U. S.'s most advanced ICBM-kille- r. The cone-shapmissile is designed to destroy' enemy warheads at low altitudes.
