Fig. 3-12 shows the relation of the
cost of support services performed
for test organizations to the number
of scientific personnel at EPG. This
chart reflects an increase in support
requirements with an increase in
scientific personnel as the test period
is approached, and a corresponding

Definitions of the major cost categories
are aa follows:
EXPENDABLE TEST CONSTRUCTION includes all costs of
towers, scientific stations, and other
facilities, including temporary camps,
constructed in test areas subject to

in non-test areas that are constructed
for a particular operation.

TEST SITE OPERATIONSinclude
all costs incurred in the maintenance
and operation of the test site, such
as maintenance, operation of facilities, and support services provided to

as the test period is approached and
passed.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES (shown as a line item under
Test Site Operations) include all

services; meteorological services; and
microbarograph studies.
