Reference made to studies carried out by Booz-Allen Applied Research, Inc, showing that air launching of space probes is feasible; B-58 Hustler bomber, carrying booster combination similar to SLV-1B can push 120 lb payloads to altitudes greater than 15,000 nautical mi; comparable ground launch could lift only 40 lb; air vs ground launch system cost comparison; payload configuration; launch vehicle geometry and performance data; aircraft evaluation was based on endurance, maximum weight-carrying ability, maximum dimensions of possible space vehicles and center of gravity compatibility; B-58 had best combinations of these.
