Type: Suborbital Launch Site. Operator: USA. Country: USA. Latitude: 38°54' N. Longitude: 110°06' W.

Military testing range used to launch several hundred Athena rockets from 1964 to 1973. These sent re-entry test vehicles or anti-ballistic missile targets to impact points in the US Army's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. This was one of the few examples of sustained interstate missile tests within the United States.

Green River Chronology and Launch Log
  • 1964 February 10 - USAF A001 re-entry vehicle test flight Launch Vehicle: Athena. Failure. Athena A001 LC: Pad 2. This was the first of several hundred launches from Green River, Utah, to impact points in the US Army's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The Athena was designed to simulate the re-entry environment of an intercontinental ballistic missile and was one of the few examples of sustained interstate missile tests within the United States.
