1980年12月4日美国联邦通信局又批准了八家公司制造和发射二十颗新的国内通信卫星。发射时间是从1981到1985年中期为止。这20颗新的国内通信卫星的制造费、发射费以及地面站兴建费总达二十亿美元。例如,1980年11月15日美航宇局为三家公司联合集资向休斯公司订购的三颗“卫星商业系统”卫星的制造费、发射费和为三家公司屋顶用的一百座小型接收站费、总计约为四亿美元。仅这一个国内通信卫星系统就占整个费用的五分之一。
On December 4, 1980, the Federal Communications Administration approved eight more companies to manufacture and launch 20 new domestic telecommunications satellites. Launch time is from 1981 to mid-1985. The manufacturing costs, launch fees and ground station construction costs of the 20 new domestic telecommunications satellites totaled 2 billion U.S. dollars. For example, on November 15, 1980, the U.S. space agency jointly funded three manufacturing and launch fees for three Satellite Commercial Systems satellites ordered by Hughes for a total of 100 small receiving stations for the roofs of three companies Fees, totaling about 400 million U.S. dollars. Only this one national communications satellite system accounted for one-fifth of the total cost.
