Here are some of the other notable programs at Wallops, according to NASA (this does not include items such as range monitoring or ground networking): "The explosion itself carved a crater 50 feet wide (15 meters) and 30 feet (9 m) deep just to the side of Pad-0A." Notable programs "Those repairs included the replacement of four lightning towers around the launchpad, the removal of debris from the explosion, as well as environmental cleanup of water and topsoil contaminated by rocket fuel," according to a story from 2015, after the repairs were completed. This forced a year's worth of repairs to the pad, which cost about $15 million. In 2014, an Orbital ATK Antares rocket exploded on Pad-0A during a launch, taking with it a Cygnus spacecraft bound for the ISS. International Space Station flights began departing from Wallops in 2013, when Cygnus spacecraft (managed by a company now known as Orbital ATK) began supply runs to the orbiting complex. In the end, the LADEE spacecraft was provided a safe and clean temporary home while it underwent final processing for its journey to the moon."

"The RMMO project manager worked closely with NASA's Code 500 engineering personnel, who took the lead on updating this facility. "This building presented several challenges given that it was set back in the woods - making 'critter control' difficult at best," NASA wrote. The V55 spacecraft fueling facility also was transformed into a clean room ready to send LADEE out for the launch. Building U-40 was converted into a launch control center, in part because it used to be used for the same purpose many years before. But its departure from Wallops required many upgrades, according to a NASA press release at the time. moon mission ever sent from a location other than Florida.

NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia has set a new Guinness World Record for the most rocket engines fired on a single flight.
