The primary mission of WSTF is to support NASA's Space Station program, and previously the Space Shuttle. As the official Johnson Space Center (JSC) Propulsion Systems Development Facility, WSTF participates in propulsion systems testing, with test expertise in hypergolic and mono-propellant handling and training. During the orbiter's life WSTF also managed and operated the Shuttle Fleet Leader program which consisted of testing orbital maneuvering and reaction control (thruster) subsystems.WSTF Propulsion

* Altitude Testing: The WSTF Large Altitude Simulation System provides altitude conditions equivalent up to foot (km).[1]
* Ambient Testing
* Fleet Leader Testing
* Unique Propulsion Test Expertise
