Engineers boost useful life of old satellites. Scientists at Purdue University and Lockheed Martin have figured out how to extend the lives of older communications satellites by redistributing propellant in their fuel tanks. The method was tested on two communications satellites launched in 1991. The remaining life of the satellites was increased from six to nine months to about two years. A researcher said the longer life brought in an additional $60 million in revenue for the broadcast companies that owned the satellites. Sep 11, 2007
