NASA announced that it had signed a contract with Rockwell International Corporation's space systems group to build two Space Shuttle orbiters (OV 103 and OV 104), convert a ground-test orbiter (OV 99), and modify the first orbiter (OV102); this would give NASA four orbiters for Shuttle operations. JSC would administer the $1.9-billion contract at Rockwell's California facilities and at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. (NASA Release 79-15; JSC Release 79-07)
