NASA's sub-orbital program dates back to the earliest days of the agency. It ha s been the source of fundamental discoveries in the solar system, interstellar s pace and galaxy, the Sun, and the Earth's atmosphere and magnetosphere, and it c ontinues to provide a unique venue for the pursuit of targeted research that is not possible with existing or planned space instruments. In addition to their direct science benefit, sub-orbital research programs are also the foundation support for several space-flight instrument development laboratories and provide a crucial mechanism for low cost/risk technology development and technique validation in a space environment. Sub-orbital experimentation has also been a primary resource for the training of new instrument scientists and the next generation of investigators for space-based missions.
