SECTION IV SCIENTIFIC STATIONS RETURN TO DOE/NY GENERAL ICAL RINFORMATION TECHN CENTE A Scientific Station is any land-based facility orinstallation, either existing or approved for engineering and/or construction, usedina test program, which is required to launch payloads, or to obs?rve, measure, collect, record, or display test results. .2 NUMBERING SYSTEM The 'SCIENTIFIC STA. NO," column in Table 4-3 incorporates three identifying numbers. These numbers represent location, User and station. l. The first number, Numerical Designator, is the same number used for engineering drawings to define geographical location. These numbers are indexed in numerical order in Table 4-1A and by alphabetical location order in Table 4-1B. 2. The second number, User Designator, indicates the User of the station. These numbers are indexed in Table 4-2. The User is the primary agency which has a requirementfor the facility. A facility common to several Users has a User designation of 0. 3. The third number identifies a User's particular station at that geographical location. This third number is assigned consecutively as station numbers are required. Separate scientific stations located in a common facility are assigned separate station numbers. The scientific station numbering system is administered by the Logistics Planning Group, and all station numbers are assigned by that group.
