· Scientific planning and instrumentation development for major space missions are often based on experiments carried out in balloons and aircraft, largely supported by NASA's suborbital program. The relatively low cost and quick turnaround time of these experiments permits diverse, exploratory research programs and realistic tests of developing instrumentation, especially new detectors.

GROUND-BASED PROGRAM · The revolution in cosmology over the past two decades has its roots in ground-based astronomy. Because of their intrinsic angular resolution and sensitivity to weak sources, large astronomical instruments such as the Very-Long-Baseline Array and the National New Technology Telescope (recommended by the Astronomy Survey Committee)

1 10 COSMOLOGY · Many problems of great interest to cosmology require sophisticated computer technology; we think of N-body calculations, where N is large, of nonlinear hydrodynamic calculations, and of efforts to combine the two. We heartily endorse the NSF's recent initiative to help university-based groups to gain access to large computational facilities.
