Sec. 1214.203  Optional reflight guarantee.



    (a) If reflight insurance is purchased from NASA, NASA guarantees 

one reflight of:

    (1) The launch and development of a free flying payload into a 

Shuttle compatible mission orbit if, through no fault of the user, the 

first launch and deployment attempt is unsuccessful and if the payload 

returns safely to earth or a second payload is provided by the user.

    (2) The launch of an attached payload into its mission orbit if the 

first launch attempt is unsuccessful through no fault of the user, and 

if the payload returns safely to earth or a second payload is provided 

by the user.

    (3) A launch of a Shuttle into a payload mission orbit for the 

purpose of retrieving a payload if the first retrieval attempt is 

unsuccessful through no fault of the user. This guarantee only applies 

if the payload is in a safe retrievable condition as determined by NASA.

    (b) Reflight insurance is not applicable to payloads or upper stages 

placed into orbits other than the Shuttle mission orbit.
