RELEASE: 91-14
The recovery system will separate from the freeflyer after about
a month in orbit to be retrieved at a southwest U.S. location. The
service module is designed to support non-recoverable experiments for
at least 100 days after the recovery system reenters.
SSI's and SII's licensing of COMET for launch from either NASA's
Goddard Wallops Island Flight Facility or Cape Canaveral will be
governed by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.
