Message-ID: <264@t4test.UUCP> Date: Fri, 10-Feb-84 20:08:16 EST Article-I.D.: t4test.264 Posted: Fri Feb 10 20:08:16 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 23-Feb-84 06:03:28 EST Organization: Intel, Santa Clara, Ca. Lines: 8 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. Murray at Intel - t4test
