尽管美国绝密的战略通信卫星军事星的经费超支和研制进程迟缓,但它还是取得了较大的进展。TRW宇航公司军事星分部经理R·吉布森说,在今年晚些时候,军事星的超高频通信有效载荷承包商将交付第一部有效载荷,以便在卫星上组装和测试。吉布森说,在洛克希德公司总装要用一年时间。他指出,尽管军事星的生产和发射计划仍属保密,但外界估计在1990年某个时候结束总装 Despite the overspending and development of US top-secret strategic communications satellite military stars, it has made great progress. R Gibson, manager of TRW Aerospace’s military satellite division, said later this year military UHF communications payload contractors will deliver the first payload to be assembled and tested on satellites. Gibson said it will take a year to assemble in Lockheed. He pointed out that despite the fact that the production and launch plan of the military satellite remains confidential, it is estimated that the general assembly will be terminated sometime in 1990
