		This mode is essential for studying the sequence of events that occurs as a comet approaches and recedes from the sun.
		The significant changes were the descoping of the instrument payload, in the fall of 1990, and the change in the mission profile, in the fall of 1991, which delays the date of launch.
		The change caused the CRAF launch to be delayed from February 1996 to April 1997.

	ENHANCEMENT OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET:
		The CRAF Enhancement Program failed, not because of insurmountable technological problems, but because of MAC's inability to develop an incentive program that was strong enough to overcome the anxieties of the airlines and promote participation in the program, while, at the same time, obtain the legislative support and financial backing of Congress.
		CRAF Enhancement attempts to achieve this goal by encouraging the civil air carriers to modify a portion of their existing, or future, passenger aircraft fleet so that when conditions dictate, the passenger features can be removed and the aircraft would be capable of carrying the required cargo.
		Although the CRAF Enhancement Concept, in theory, appears to be a cost-effective means to create additional cargo airlift capacity and the modification process seems to be straight forward, the whole program depends on the ability to persuade the commercial air carriers to participate and agree to have their aircraft modified into cargo-convertibles.

		The CRAF is a unique part of air mobility resources and is made up of aircraft from U.S. airlines under contract to support the Department of Defense during emergencies when the need for airlift exceeds the capability of the military.
		According to CRAF guidelines, CRAF’s main goal is to enlist U.S. commercial airlines to aid in contingencies.
		Stated in the AMC concept of operations for the CRAF, the primary mission of the Defense Department patient movement system is to safely transport U.S. military casualties from the combat zone to fixed medical treatment facilities or field hospitals in or out of the combat zones.

	The Civil Reserve Air Fleet - Future Credibility
		The CRAF program was established in 1951 and resulted in civilian aircraft being identified, by tail number, and allocated for national defense through three stages of increasing need.
		Since the NDFP requires aircraft to remain in the CRAF for a number of years to make the investment worthwhile and provide stability, many of these leased aircraft are not eligible for this program.
		The continued development of a new military airlift aircraft and legislation to increase airline participation in the CRAF are essential to our nation's continued capability to project power and respond to a crisis anywhere in the world.

	Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF)
		When fully activated, CRAF is capable of providing over 90 percent of troop-carrying capability, over 40 percent of cargo-carrying capability, and 100 percent of aeromedical evacuation capability.
		CRAF was fully activated for the first time on August 17, 1990, to support Gulf War operations.
		Between August 1990 and March 1991, CRAF carriers flew two-thirds of the passengers and one-fourth of the cargo to the Arabian Peninsula.

	CRAF
		The term "CRAF Operation" for the purpose of this Letter of Agreement means all flight operations conducted in accordance with the agreement between United Air Lines and the Department of Defense but shall not include the Company's certificated service or commercial charter service of any other government operation.
		In the application of Section 8.J. and 12.I. of the Agreement, when assigned a CRAF ID, the monthly guarantee for a lineholder will reflect the greater value of the CRAF ID flown or the scheduled ID(s) necessary to be dropped.
		If a CRAF ID cancels prior to the departure of its first segment, a lineholder Flight Attendant will cover any ID(s) she/he dropped in order to fly the CRAF ID. If the dropped ID(s) is no longer available, the lineholder will be subject to 8.J. or 12.I. reassignment(s) as applicable.

		CRAF was scheduled to conduct a close flyby of a mainbelt asteroid, fly in formation with a short-period comet to study it during both active and quiescent phases, and deploy a penetrator/lander into the nucleus of the comet to determine subsurface properties and composition.
		The CRAF mission uses the first of a new series of RTG-powered three-axis stabilized planetary spacecraft, the Mariner Mark II, designed for missions beyond the orbit of Mars.
		Two and a half years after launch (and a gravity assist from the Earth), the spacecraft is expected to fly past the asteroid Hamburga in June 1998.

	COMET RENDEZVOUS ASTEROID FLYBY Mission Characterization - Abstract
		The Comet Rendezvous Asteroid Flyby (CRAF) mission was to be launched in 1995 but due to budget constraints and the current economic situation the project was just recently scrapped.
		The main target of the CRAF mission is Comet Kopff.
		The vehicle to carry out this mission is the CRAF Mariner Mark II as seen in figure 1.

	Space Studies Board
		In all respects, the selected CRAF science payload instruments represent significant advances over their Halley counterparts, and add essential capabilities that were not present on the various Halley spacecraft.
		It is therefore important for the Committee to reassess the COMPLEX science objectives for comet exploration in the light of these results, and to ask whether the selected payload is well suited to the accomplishment of these or modified objectives.
		Bulk analyses of both collected coma dust and in-place solids on the cometary crust are critical elements in the CRAF plan because of the possibility of chemical fractionation between the cometary surface and the active gas-producing regions; inactive regions observed on the Halley surface could be thick lag deposits of devolatilized material.

	Civil Reserve Air Fleet
		The CRAF program is designed to quickly mobilize the nation’s airlift resources to meet DOD force projection requirements.
		CRAF was activated for the first time in its history on 17 August 1990 when stage I aircraft were called up in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.
		Commercial airlines are motivated to participate in the CRAF program in part by the opportunity to compete for DoD peacetime business.

		The CRAF mission included deploying a penetrator/lander into the nucleus of the comet, flying past the asteroid Hamburga in June 1998, and other activities.
		After I received the reply, I learned that the CRAF plans were put together with the Cassini mission to make one mission.
		The Cassini mission survived and was launched in 1997, but the CRAF mission was indeed cancelled and that spacecraft was not built.

		To join CRAF, carriers must maintain a minimum commitment of 30 percent of its CRAF capable passenger fleet and 15 percent of its CRAF capable cargo fleet.
		The commander, U.S. Transportation Command, with approval of the secretary of defense, is the activation authority for all three stages of CRAF.
		Each stage of the CRAF activation is only used to the extent necessary to provide the amount of civil augmentation airlift needed by DOD.

		Any input record containing a format or coding different from the format defined by CRAF is not accepted, but logged in an error log file when this record is recognized as containing possible correct but corrupted data.
		The conversion routine asks for the kind of data to be converted, the name of the input file and the name of the output file.
		If such identification is made for different telescopes but for the same time moment or frequency band, the number of events for the related bin is increased by one for each telescope for which the identification is made.

		As much as AMC would like to modify only new-purchase aircraft in their production phase, a lack of new aircraft orders may preclude this.
		Unfortunately, these changes have had an overwhelmingly negative impact on the viability of a future CRAF Enhancement Program.
		There does exist, however, certain conditions under which the implementation of either a traditional CRAF Enhancement Program or a modified Enhancement Program would have some utility.
