One thing mentioned in a newspaper about the STS
being able to retrieve one of these satellites:

Even if it could intercept the Westar/Palapa, it could not 'grab' it
because the satellites were not designed to have some
sort of 'handle' to facilitate the operation. Of course,
this could have been a misquote of somebody, as usual.
