- INTELSAT said that its board of governors meeting in Bogota last week had made decisions that would determine the course of international communications satellite system development for the decade. INTELSAT would purchase key items needed for a ninth INTELSAT V series satellite; order from NASA three more Atlas Centaur launch vehicles with improved capability; procure from the ESA two more Ariane launch vehicles; and define specifications for an improved satellite, INTELSAT V -A, and a high-capacity satellite to be called INTELSAT VI. INTELSAT would spend more than U.S. $230 million, said W. Wood, deputy director general for operations and development. (INTELSAT Release 80-12-I)
