The report concerns a methodical analysis of the national research and development effort related to cosmic ray studies, X-ray and gamma ray astronomy and aeronomical studies to justify a cooperative mobile launch facility for balloons and rockets capable of economical operation in ocean areas. The study includes, but is not limited to, ship launch facilities combined with suitable shore activities and other ships and aircraft for recovery purposes. Results justify the above objectives and, in addition, demonstrate a research facility capable of reducing overlap, redundancy and duplication of effort and, at the same time, increase the scope of research effort and effectiveness.
