NASA Ushers In New Space Exploration Era At Wallops Flight Facility
“NASA ushered in a new era of space exploration at its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on Tuesday with a ribbon cutting ceremony opening the new Horizontal Integration Facility (HIF). The HIF will support medium-class mission capabilities. The first customer to use the facility will be Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., with its Taurus II launch vehicle.”
Keith’s 22 Mar 12:30 pm EDT note: There is no mention of this press release nor images and video of this event on the Wallops home page. Moreover, Wallops still hasn’t fixed the link on their home page so that it points to their new Facebook page.
Keith’s 22 Mar 6:30 pm EDT update: Still no mention on the Wallops home page.
Keith’s 23 Mar 8:17 am EDT update: As it happens there is a page up about the event – but it was not linked from the WFF home page yesterday – rather, it was hidden. You could only find out about it if someone stumbled across it and sent you an email. It is now linked from their home page – a day after the event.
