SBS satellite
A satellite furnished by the Satellite Business System will
be launched aboard a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral Air
Force Base this Thursday.  The company provides business
communications via satellite.  The first of three satellites
was launched last 15 November--this is the second.  The
third is scheduled to be launched on a future shuttle
flight.

The satellite will be placed in a geosyncronous orbit, about
22,240 miles above the earth.
