自美航宇局宣布从1985年10月起,航天飞机发射费将大幅度涨价之后,最近几个月内,澳大利亚、巴西和墨西哥等国竞相与休斯公司签订了购买卫星的合同。这种“欲购从速”的背后,实际上是为了抢在1985年10月之前按航天飞机的优惠价格发射卫星。因为同样一颗卫星,如果今年用航天飞机发射需付900万美元的话,1986年发射也许就得付2000多万美元。这一动向值得引起有关部门的重视。
Since the Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that starting from October 1985, the shuttle launch cost will be substantially higher prices, in recent months, Australia, Brazil and Mexico and other countries competing with Hughes signed a contract to buy satellites. Behind this “desire to buy as soon as possible” is actually to grab the satellite by the preferential price of the space shuttle by October 1985. Because the same satellite, if launched with a space shuttle this year, would cost $ 9 million, the launch in 1986 may have to pay more than $ 20 million. This trend deserves to draw the attention of relevant departments.
