From:  Richard M. King <DKING@KESTREL.ARPA>

	A better characterization of the uniqeness of the communication
satellite repair mission is that is the first time a satellite has been
returned to Earth to fly another mission WITHOUT PROVISIONS DESIGNED INTO
THE SATELLITE.

	With this characterization it will probably also be the last time.
