White Sands LC50
Launch Complex 50 - Launch Site: White Sands. Launch Pads: 1. Latitude: 32.4718 N. Longitude: 106.3238 W. Sprint.

The only missiles (with the possible exception of a HIBEX) that were ever launched from LC50 were Sprints (except for other small missile launched from there in recent years). LC-50 was a mound built up in the desert with a ramp up to it coming from the south-southwest. The mound originally had three launch cells. One was destroyed by an explosion of FLA-3 in the cell. It was fenced and locked.
