Planning for sounding rocket space processing experiments in the second half of 1975 is reported. Currently operational sounding rocket systems are capable of carrying payloads containing more than 50 kg of experimental apparatus on trajectories including between 5 and 10 min of coasting flight above 100 km altitude. When equipped with stabilization systems to nullify angular velocities in their rotational degrees of freedom, these vehicles can provide an environment in which accelerations are less than 1 mm/sec per 2. The cost of flight operations to implement a rocket experiment program will be of the order of 2000 dollars per kg of discretionary payload, and within the next two years newly operational systems are expected to reduce the cost to about 700 dollars per kg.
