The White Sands Space Harbor (WSSH) Operations Control Center (WOCC) is located on the banks of the dry lakebed where the administrative functions and heavy equipment are managed. A new WOCC was installed in 1999, allowing the old building to be utilized for telecommunications and, if a landing of the shuttle were to occur, the center for White Sands Missile Range security. Located adjacent to the new WOCC is the medical facility. The area around the WOCC would be the site for additional office trailers and Air Force mobile shelters utilized during the shuttle turnaround operations.
