根据法国航宇工业公司和阿里安空间公司提议并在有欧空局参加的情况下,讨论了准备以平于或低于美国出售卫星招标的价格向日本出售“气象卫星”系统的决定。发射卫星的日期预计在1989年。出售给日本的整个卫星系统,包括用阿里安发射卫星直到把卫星送入同步轨道位置等的基本价格为6千万至6千2百万美元。但这不包括根据日本的需要进行的改装。 Based on the proposals of ANA and Arianespace and with the participation of ESA, the decision to sell the system of “meteorological satellites” to Japan at or below the United States bid for satellite bidding was discussed. The date of launch of the satellite is expected to be in 1989. The basic price of the entire satellite system sold to Japan, including that of launching satellites from Arianes until the satellites are put into orbital orbit, is between $ 60 million and $ 62 million. However, this does not include modifications that are based on the needs of Japan.
