The author's report compares the Space Station version of ASTROMAG with free-flyer versions of ASTROMAG which could fly on an Atlas llA rocket and a Delta rocket. Launch with either free-flyer imposes severe weight limits on the magnet and its cryogenic system. Both versions of ASTROMAG magnet which fly on free-flying satellites do not have to be charged more than once during the mission. This permits one to simplify the charging system and the cryogenic system. The He ll pump loop which supplies helium to the gas cooled electrical leads can be eliminated in both of the free-flyer versions of the ASTROMAG magnet. The superconducting dipole moment correction coils, which are necessary for the magnet to operate on a free-flying satellite, are described
