NASA announced that TRW, Inc. was awarded a contract to replace the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) lost in the Challenger accident. Plans called for a replacement spacecraft and follow-on satellites to keep the TDRS system operational through the end of the century. As of this date, one TDRS was in geosynchronous orbit near Brazil over the Atlantic Ocean. (NASA Release 86-70; WSJ, May 30/86)
