57.0. "SYNCOM Shuttle Rescue Attempt" by PYRITE::WEAVER () Tue Jun 25 1985 13:02
Subject: Rescue Attempt
Posted: Sat May 25 22:15:10 1985
Astronauts on the August shuttle mission will try to repair
in orbit the failed Syncom satellite that was stranded during
earlier this year. The resuce attempt will involve two
spacewalking crew members bypassing the electronic timing
mechanism on the satellite, enabling the satellite to receive
commands from the ground. NASA cautions that there is limited
chance for success, because the satellite is now being exposed
to temperatures far below its design specifications.
