NASA said that it would rescue the uninsured communications satellite that Martin Marietta Corporation boosted into a useless orbit last March 14. The cost was set at $1 million to either retrieve it or attach rockets, that would send it into a higher orbit, in 1991 or 1992. INTELSAT said that it would consider the cost at its next board of governors meeting. (W Times, May 16/90)
