CROW’S NEST — The control tower at Tonopah Test Range in Nevada offers a commanding 360-degree view of the remote desert range. In the black-and-white photo from 1982, former test director Palmer Nelson observes a launch. Today, the space has been modernized with 37 monitoring screens and cutting-edge technology, but the testing continues under watch of current test director Joe Simile.
