[net.space] What happened to NOAA-8?

FONER%OZ.AI.MIT.EDU@MIT-MC.ARPA ("Leonard N. Foner") (01/08/86)

Earlier today I read (in the NYT Sci-Tech section) that NOAA-8 was no
longer operational, and that pieces of it were being tracked in orbit.
Unfortunately, the one-paragraph squib said very little else, and I
don't even have that to refer to any more.

Does anyone know more about this?  Tnx.
