Space Salvage: Update
Last November American astronauts recovered two satellites from space - a feat which promised to save tens of millions of dollars for
Lloyd's underwriters who have already paid out a small fortune on satellite losses.
Tonight's programme shows some of the delicate negotiations necessary to stage the rescue, the drama of the rescue itself and what has happened since.
And, with the recent loss of another satellite, it looks as though the astronauts may have to go up and perform the trick again next month. Narrator Hugh Sykes Executive producer JONATHAN CRANE
