Navy Extends Contracts

With COMSAT General

For Use Of MARISAT

COMSAT General Corporation announced recently that the U.S.

Navy has extended its contract for the use of UHF capacity on each of the three satellites in the MAR-

ISAT system for an additional year. The provision of this addi- tional satellite service is valued at $12.7 million. The Navy also has an option on these satellite serv- ices for the following year.
