The Reardan Auxiliary Facility (MIS) is an old Department of Defense missile launch location about 20 miles west of Spokane, WA. This site consists of 20 acres of land and an underground and surface building complex. The site allows for various full-scale experiments to be conducted to support the mining research program. A unique laboratory is the Dynamic Materials Testing Laboratory, developed to characterize the response of rock to explosive loading.
