	I have read in several articles that it is impossible to refuel
IRAS, or it would require the facilities of a space station.
	In all of these discussions, it is never made clear to me why
the shuttle astronauts cannot refuel it, or at worst bring it back down
to Earth for refueling. Could someone who understands these things please
respond. Apologies if this has already been explained, we've only been
on the net for a week.
