From: Wilkins <WILKINS@SRI-AI.ARPA> Regarding Will Martin's comment that NASA will be blamed and lawyers may tie them up for years - - I was wondering what NASA actually promises these people and who chooses the PAM rockets. I basically have no idea. Is it more like "give us a satellite and we'll attach this PAM, carry it up and fire it off" or is it more like "give us a satellite with a rocket of your choice and we'll drop it up there and let your rocket do its thing", or somethin in between? Certainly, NASA is in more trouble in the former case. Anyone know the details of these agreements? David -------
