    White Sands Missile Range Public Affairs

    Every year, Ranchers' Day at White Sands Missile Range gives local ranchers and WSMR leaders a chance to reconnect, learn, and enjoy time together in a small group. Ranchers get to tour parts of the missile range that are usually closed to the public. The event held this year on May 5, 2026, also shows how important ranchers are to national defense, helps everyone work together safely during missile tests, and brings the community closer. Morgan shared various space-related photos, including one of his own taken while at the International Space Station. What made the photo unique is that it clearly shows the White Sands footprint from space. He explained that he took the photos without knowing that he would eventually become the commander of White Sands Missile Range.
