' AlS Flight Test Schedules, on 4ts two Operational pzds, reach
@ mximm (one crew) rate of & firings/p:d/year in 19623 in.1960 and
1962 the rate is 6/pai/year; pad time/missite/pad is approx-
imately 2 weeks during this 3 year peri - Such a schedule affords
three direct ICE advantages: (1) Untdl the 2nd quarter of 1963, the

ARS wit a ARS ‘tion on ISK
stands in mid 1958, (2) During this five year period of AFHTC AES
flight testing, umised pad tine could easily accomodate mmerous Stan-
dard XS 65 firings and/or mony: static tests on the unosed
AES leunchers and service structure. (3) Starting in the 2nd quarter
of 1963, the AES Project would Brobably vacate the AFNIC site and re-
locate at the Operational Test Site. This abandoment of the ALS launch
complex will provide the 48 107 progran, in whatever phase, the utility
of an extra 2 pad ~*blockhouse complex for an indefinite period. - _—
