PREFACE
BACKGROUND
The Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) in Palestine, Texas was established in the early 1960s under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The purpose of the CSBF is to provide a permanent complex for scientific balloon flight operations. Since its inception in the early 1960s, the CSBF has been a Government-owned, contractor-operated institution. Originally named the Scientific Balloon Facility, it was renamed the National Scientific Balloon Facility (NSBF) on July 1, 1972.
In October 1982, sponsorship of the NSBF was transferred from the National Science Foundation to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the NSBF became a separate entity under the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). At that time, the NSF issued NASA an indefinite user permit for all land and other real property at NSBF in Palestine, Texas. In October 1987, the NASA contract to operate the NSBF was awarded to the Physical Science Laboratory under the auspices of New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico. On February 1, 2015 the contract was awarded to Orbital Sciences Corporation Technical Services Division. A few months later, Orbital Sciences merged with the Aerospace and Defense groups of Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), creating Orbital ATK. Then in 2015, Orbital ATK was acquired by Northrop Grumman and renamed Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. The contract is administered by the NASA Balloon Program Office located at Goddard Space Flight Center's (GSFC) Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Virginia.
On August 23, 2005, NASA signed off on a plan by U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) to rename the NSBF to the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility (CSBF) in honor of the seven astronauts who perished during the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia.
SERVICES
The CSBF has the following threefold mission:
To plan and develop facilities and provide operations services to meet the approved ballooning requirements of the scientific community
To perform the necessary research and development to meet future scientific ballooning requirements
To provide consulting services in the field of scientific ballooning
The CSBF provides complete balloon operations services and engineering support to the United States and foreign scientific communities. The operational services include:
Balloon inflation
Launching
Tracking and recovering the balloon payload
Telecommanding and data retrieval with reliable electronics systems
Engineering support services include:
Balloon systems design
Balloon material research
Electronics design
Gondola design
Thermal analysis

PALESTINE, TEXAS FACILITY
The CSBF is five miles northwest of the City of Palestine in Anderson County, Texas. The facility is west of the Palestine Municipal Airport, accessible from U.S. Highway 287 via Farm-to-Market Road 3224. Two sides of the property are defined by the north-south and east-west runways of the airport (see Figure 1). There are 19 buildings in the complex. The buildings and two paved launch areas are situated on 473.85 acres of land, of which
165.97 acres are leased from the City of Palestine and the remaining 307.88 acres are listed as NASA real property. On February 16, 2016 10 of the NSF owned buildings and 307.88 acres of NSF owned land were transferred to NASA, the entire facility is now NASA owned. The facility is used exclusively for scientific balloon flight operations and engineering. All properties are being fully used in support of the CSBF mission and are essential to program requirements.
Figure 1 - CSBF Base and Palestine Airport
FORT SUMNER, NEW MEXICO FACILITY
Remote site operations include a launch facility in Fort Sumner, New Mexico (see Figure 2). NASA purchased
8.15 acres of land from the City of Fort Sumner, New Mexico for use as a remote launch site at the Fort Sumner, New Mexico Municipal Airport. In 1991, an 80 x 80-ft building was erected on this acreage to serve as the staging facility for balloon missions launched from Fort Sumner. There is currently no permanent staff at the Fort Sumner location.
Two leases are in place in connection with the Fort Sumner facility. A hangar is leased from the Village of Fort Sumner, and a parcel of land used as a down-range facility at the Winslow-Lindbergh Regional Airport is leased from the City of Winslow, AZ. Starting in 2019 NASA is handling all procurement functions on all leases.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CURRENT OUT-GRANTS
NOAA WIND PROFILER
Atmospheric profilers operated by NOAA's Office of Atmospheric Research (OAR) measure the wind and temperature variations with height over a large area of the central United States and Alaska. The National Weather Service terminated and defunded the project in 2015, and the NOAA Wind Profiler was removed from the CSBF facility.
U.S. CLIMATE REFERENCE NETWORK
NOAA has set up a U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) data collection center at the CSBF. Its purpose is to provide future long-term high-quality observations of surface air temperature and precipitation that can be coupled to past long-term observations for the detection and attribution of present and future climate change. USCRN measures the following:
Air temperature
Ground surface temperature
Precipitation
Relative humidity
Soil moisture and temperature
Solar radiation
Wind speed
VERIZON CELLULAR SITE
To improve the quality of CSBF cellular signals, Alltel has placed an antenna on the NASA water tower. A small fenced building was erected at the base of the water tower to house the receiver and transmitters.
FLOODPLAINS OR WETLANDS
According to a survey dated September 18, 1972, which is available for review, the property is not in a floodplain or wetland area.
HISTORIC OR CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE
None of the real property at the CSBF is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
MINERAL ACTIVITY
Orbital Sciences/CSBF does not have records or information regarding the mineral rights or deposits of the NASA owned acreage.

Total 9,660
A value of $15.78/ft2 ($152,472.34 divided by 9,660-ft2) appears to be a fair value considering the dates of construction range from 1962 to 1976 (a period of fourteen years), and the square footage cost of other buildings and construction during these years.
1997-98 Major Rehabilitation The building underwent a major rehabilitation. The scope of work for the project included the following: demolition of miscellaneous architectural items such as existing metal siding panels, windows, personnel doors, overhead coiling doors, roof mounted structural platforms, and associated metal stairs gutters and down spouts, gypsum wallboard and plywood partitions, suspended ceiling system, resilient flooring, and associated mechanical and electrical equipment, the installation of new metal siding panels, gutters and down spouts, installation of new personnel doors, insulated aluminum windows, an overhead coiling door, repair of roof due to demolition of various items, installation of new metal studs and gypsum wallboard plywood partitions, installation of new suspended acoustical tile ceiling system, vinyl composition tile flooring, resilient stair treads, installation of a new exterior metal staircase, architectural painting, structural framing, new electrical lighting and power distribution, new mechanical systems, and the construction of new handicap accessible restroom facilities. The work included the extension of the existing sewage

PROPERTY ID: N/A
1963 Original Construction This single-story 140 x 40–ft building was originally constructed for balloon storage and later converted to the Electronics Shop (building 2), Facility Services (building 2A), and the Machine Shop (building 2B). As advised by NCAR on September 27, 1985, their records revealed the $37,413.44 as part of the total value given for six buildings. A value of $6.68/ft2 ($37,413.44 divided by 5,600-ft2) appears to be a fair value.
1989 Mezzanines and Office Space
A mezzanine was built in the Machine Shop (building 2B) by CSBF personnel. Two offices and a storage room with mezzanine above were also built in Facility Services (building 2A). This work was performed under NASA contract NAS5-29800.
1991 Electronics Shop Expansion
The Electronics Shop was expanded to include building 2A after Facility Services moved to building 3.
1993 HVAC An HVAC unit including ductwork was installed in building 2A by Palestine Air and Refrigeration of Palestine, Texas.
1994 HVAC An HVAC unit was installed in building 2 and a thermostat to control heat strips was installed in building 2B by Palestine Air and Refrigeration of Palestine, Texas.

PROPERTY ID: N/A
1966 Original construction An open 60 x 60-ft shelter was added to the shop buildings referred to in Section 3.2 on page 11. A 40 x 20-ft area of this space was enclosed in 1968 to be used as the welding shop. The remaining space was used as a helium shed. The cost of the original shop buildings (2, 2A, and 2B) in 1963 was $6.68/ft2. Therefore, it is reasonable to use $7.00/ft2 for the 3,600-ft2 addition constructed in 1966 and 1968.
1984 Enclosure The 20 x 20-ft area behind the helium shed area was enclosed and converted to equipment maintenance under NASA contract NAS5-28218.
1990 Dirt Floor Covered with Concrete Slab
A 40 x 20-ft concrete slab was poured to cover the dirt floor of the equipment maintenance area. The work was performed under NASA contract NAS5-29800.
1991 New Facility Services Work Area
A 19 x 60-ft area was enclosed by CSBF personnel for a new facility services work area. A work area, three small offices, a mezzanine, and a storage area were added. One of CSBF's heating and air conditioning units and ductwork were installed and the system connected by Palestine Air and Refrigeration of Palestine, Texas. A new overhead door was installed by Athens Steel Building Corporation of Athens, Texas. The work was performed under NASA contract NAS5-29800.
1994 Equipment Maintenance Bay Enclosure/HVAC/ Insulation
The bay was enclosed, an overhead door was added, and the ceiling was insulated. Tiles and grid work were installed in the shop area. CSBF furnished the tiles and insulation and CSBF personnel furnished labor, tools, and grid work. Cost of the work was $4,140.00. This construction was done under NASA contract NAS5-31125. An HVAC unit including ductwork was installed in the middle bay by Palestine Air and Refrigeration of Palestine, Texas. The middle bay was insulated with 6-in vinyl-faced R19 insulation and an overhead door was installed by RPR Construction of Tyler, Texas.
2003 Air Conditioning The air conditioning (AC) unit was replaced in the welding shop on 7 July 2003 by Palestine Air and Refrigeration of Palestine, Texas at a cost of $7,130.00.

1963 Original Construction
This single-story 70 x 35-ft building was donated to the CSBF by Princeton University. The $10/ft2 cost of construction was estimated by considering fair market value and labor costs at the time of construction:
70 x 35-ft = 2,450-ft2 x $10 = $24,500
The dimensions of 70 x 35-ft were taken from the Floor Plan Rigging Building, page 69 of the Master Plan NCAR Scientific Balloon Facility, Palestine, Texas, dated July 1972.
1978 Parachute Pull Tunnel
A 74 x 15-ft covered concrete pad was added to the back of the building by CSBF personnel to facilitate stretching and rigging of parachutes. The material cost was estimated at $5,000. Labor costs were estimated for approximately 400 hours at $12.50/hr or $5,000.00. Therefore, the value of $10,203.00 appears reasonable and is one of the six values provided by NCAR on 27 September 1985.
1989 Parachute Pull Tunnel Removal
An addition to the mechanical rigging shop required the removal of the existing parachute pull tunnel and its foundation. The metal from this building was removed, stacked, and saved with plans to reconstruct the 74 x 15-ft building as an extension to this new addition.
1989 Addition to Flight
Operations
A firm fixed-price subcontract for $114,832.00 was awarded to Athens Steel
Building Corporation of Athens, Texas on 25 July 1988 for construction of a 40 x 80-ft building addition under NASA contract NAS5-29800. The new dimensions of the building are 153 x 36.5-ft (5,584.5-ft2). The building has a monorail hoist and is air conditioned and heated. The new addition is connected to the existing building by an overhead door and a walk door. NASA improvements to the building owned by NSF were an improvement to NSF Real Property. The increase in value of this building was reported to NSF on their Annual Report GSA Form 1166.
1994 Roof A new roof of urethane foam with white reflective coating was installed on the front portion of the building and existing roof box vents were removed by Pal-Tex Urethane of Palestine, Texas. A Lennox 7.5-ton heat pump was installed by Palestine Air and Refrigeration of Palestine, Texas.
Overhead Door
Bathroom Update
42’ x 42’ slab
Cubical
The south overhead door was replaced with an insulated door by Overhead Door Company of Tyler, Texas.
The small restroom was removed and replaced with a modern style Bathroom with a shower stall, a urinal and two toilets. The work was handled by David Harden Construction. The cost was $34,907.00.
One 42’ x 42’ slab was added to the back of this building to extend the area that was usable to ready parachutes for flight. Morris Construction was used for the project at a cost of $8,138.
Cubical space was built by CSBF Facilities to allow separate computer work space estimated cost $400.
2012 Break/Training Room
Break/training room was added. Construction was done by CSBF Facilities.

1963 Original Construction The main section of this building is hexagonal in shape, having an area of 1,020-ft2. Two storage areas, each 13 x 20-ft, were connected adding 520-ft2. Stratoport I was constructed by Princeton University and later donated to CSBF.
NCAR identified all real property except for the cost of Stratoport I and the Coronaport. The two buildings are very similar in design and composition and were built relatively close to the same time (1963 and 1965);
therefore, the cost allocation was based on square footage.
1989 Asbestos Removal Stratoport I was completely stripped of all asbestos cement sandwich panels which included all walls and the roof. A new girt system was connected onto the existing structural members. New sandwich panels consisting of urethane core insulation and a light-gage metal liner were connected to the new girt system. The building also received a new roof system. The work was performed by Red Eagle Construction Company of Manvel, Texas under NASA contract NAS5-29800.
1990 AC Installation A Sears 25,000-BTU window AC unit was installed by Palestine Air and Refrigeration of Palestine, Texas.
2013 Asbestos Testing/ Removal
