A basic‐research laboratory is to be established at the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs in early autumn. The facility will be known as the Colorado Astronautical Research Laboratory (CARL), and will be operated under the supervision of the Office of Aerospace Research with an initial staff of 37 and an annual budget of $850 000.
