Nye County to see more scientific development
by Andy Holtmann
Nye County will be seeing more science and technol-
ogy come its way thanks to a new joint venture with the
Nevada Test Site.
In its annual meeting on July 22, the Nevada Test Site
Development Corporation voted to appropriate $198,400
in seed money to be used for a joint project between the
county and the test site called the Nevada Science and
Technology Corridor.
According to NTS Development Chairman John
O'Reilley, the public-private partnership is in it s initial
stages. The goal, he said, was to bring economic devel-
opment to the U.S. Highway 95 corridor from Pahrump
and Indian Springs in the south to Tonopah in the north.
A telecommunications infrastructure that would ser-
vice all of Nye County is planned along the corridor.
The infrastructure would provide better satellite, phone,
radio, and television coverage to the area. NTS spokes-
woman Susan Haase said that the infrastructure would
most likely be just off of U.S. Highway 95, north of the
Highway 160 interchange.
Another project that this partnership will provide aid
for is the completion ofa Tonopah Airport master plan.
The airport, which will be expanding, will seek finan-
cial aid that will help to finish renovations and expan-
sion.
An aeronautic and technology park will be con-
structed in Tonopah with a smaller, branch version
being built in Lathrop Wells. The park will serve as
development and testing centers for aerospace pro-
grams.
$57,500 of the nearly $200,000 appropriated will go
toward this corridor development. The rest of the money
wilt be given to Kistler Aerospace.
The Seattle based aerospace firm has developed what
they say is a reusable satellite launch pad. Launch pads
that are currently used are "disposable," burning and
self destructing after their satellite packages are deliv-
ered.
Kistler's pad would be built out of high grade mate-
rials that would not suffer from the rocket fuel used to
propel the satellites on into orbit. This new pad would
also be mobile, allowing for easy transportation.
"The pad stays on the test site grounds where we
launch most of the satellites," Haase said. "When we're
not using it, it would be moved out of the area. The best
thing about it though is that we can use it more than
once."
Haase said a project of this sort has never been
attempted before. If Kister's launch pad works, it is
estimated to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in
the long run.
Nye County's benefits lie in the way of employment.
Once all of the projects along the science and technol-
ogy corridor are in place, nearly.2,000 jobs are expected
to be created.
There was no word as to when any of these projects
will begin.
