Holloman High Speed Test Track, Military test facility at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico.
The Holloman High Speed Test Track extends across 50,971 feet of precision-aligned rails through the desert landscape of southern New Mexico.
The facility began operations in 1949 with a 3,350-foot track, expanding through multiple phases to reach its current length by 2002.
Lieutenant Colonel John Stapp earned recognition as the Fastest Man on Earth after riding a rocket-propelled sled at 632 miles per hour in 1954.
The test track enables engineers to evaluate aircraft ejection systems, missile components, and aerospace technologies at speeds exceeding Mach 8.
In 2003, the facility set a world record when a rocket sled reached 6,453 miles per hour, marking the fastest speed achieved on land.
