After many years, the missile launch area, which had been carrying out US space missions, has now ceased operations and was abandoned.

These photos were recorded by Roland Miller for 25 years.In the picture is the 1V2 launch area and Hermes A-1 missile at the launch platform complex 33, of the White Sands base, New Mexico state.This is where the first atomic bomb test was conducted in 1945.

LC-13 is currently a base to stop operating.Previously, it was used in the launch of Atlas and other missiles during 1958-1978.
