Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility

The Joint Dark Enery Mission Facility is a top secret S.H.I.E.L.D. facility where a group of NASA scientists studied the Tesseract for Project: PEGASUS.

Loki's Attack
The Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility housed the research and study of the Tesseract where a group of NASA scientists, S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists and Dr. Erik Selvig were chosen to study it. Clint Barton aka Hawkeye and several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were deployed as a security force.

When Dr. Selvig learned how to tapped into the energy source of the Tesseract, he reported to Agent Phil Coulson, who in turn reported to S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury. Along with Maria Hill, Fury arrived at the facility and meets Agent Coulson, Dr. Selvig and Hawkeye. A little later, Loki of Asgard comes to Earth via portal and begins to attack the base. He takes the Tesseract and despite the efforts of Fury and Hill to stop him, he escapes along with a mind controlled Dr. Selvig and Hawkeye.

After Loki's attack, the World Security Council temporarily shuts down the facility due to it being compromised.
