NASA announced that LeRC awarded a $161 million contract to General Dynamics Corporation, Convair Division, San Diego, Calif., for two Shuttle/Centaur G vehicles for the DOD. A previous contract included two NASA-unique Shuttle Centaur G-Prime vehicles for the Galileo (Jupiter) mission and the International Solar/Polar Mission (ISPM), scheduled for launch in 1986. The two contracts together totaled $414 million.
Centaur was a high-energy upper-stage booster expected to add substantially to the Space Shuttle's ability to deliver heavier payloads from low-Earth or-bit to geosynchronous orbit or interplanetary trajectories. (NASA Release 84-44)
