The extension of the mission of the International Space Station to 2024
NASA White Sands Test Facility (NASA WSTF) is a support facility for the International Space Station (ISS). NASA WSTF does failure analysis on micro-meteoroid orbital debris impacts, for example. In English, they look at what happens to materials in space should they get hit by orbiting debris, a screw or a even paint chip. They also work on oxygen systems, and life support system analysis for station. For the readers who saw the movie Gravity, when Sandra Bullock called NASA, the communications come through the NASA site.
