Equipment
The basic requirement for MORABA equipment is that everything must be mobile and suitable for transportation to difficult-to-access points of the Earth. Therefore, all the parts of the equipment must fit in standardised 20-foot containers or be transportable on wheels. The existing devices can be used to set up a launch pad for sounding rockets or balloons essentially in any spot in the world. A typical time frame for set-up is around two weeks.
