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.
