NASA Pulls Boston University Contract

Space Agency Pulls $89 Million Contract With BU, Says School Can't
Meet Promises

The Associated Press



BOSTON July 11 —
Boston University has lost an $89 million contract with NASA to build
a special satellite after the space agency concluded the school could
not deliver what it had promised.

"It's probably unprecedented," Tim Gehringer, NASA's mission manager
for the project, told The Boston Globe. "The bottom line is that (BU's
satellite) couldn't do the science it promised to do."
