Kent University, England Lines: 8 On a tv interview with one of the IRAS team I heard it said that it will take approximately 10 years to analyse the data from IRAS. This might be one reason why recovery of the device is not a top priority. I believe that there are two more IR astronomical satellites planned, though, b but do not know when they are to be launched. dgd.
