MSFC announced that it had awarded Ford Aerospace and Communications Corporation of Palo Alto, Calif., and Lockheed Missiles and Space Company of Sunnyvale, Calif., contracts for the conceptual study of geostationary platforms. Under the contracts, the two firms would envision platforms of the 1990s and report their findings to the MSFC. The platforms would revolve about the equator at the geostationary altitude of 22,300 miles, where they would be in synchronization with the Earth's rotation.
Each contract was for approximately $550 and would run for 21 months. (MSFC Release 84-64)
