The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization announced it had contracted with Hughes Aircraft Co. for three Intelsat IVA satellites in addition to three ordered in 1973. The amendment to the 1973 contract totaled more than $40 million, including launch support services but not possible performance incentive payments. The first of the additional satellites, with twice the communications capability of the Intelsat IV series, was to be delivered in 1977. (INTELSAT Release 74-67)
