Rule (5V1b1) says, in the last sentence, " A given satellite ship can only be
launched once and recovered once during any given game turn".

Can it also be recovered once and then launched again later in the turn, or is the 'order' in which the quote above is written intended to mean that it can only be done in that order; is there a rule that says that a recovered sat ship cannot be launched again in the same turn?

The only restriction on that I see references the same IMPULSE ---

I believe the order makes no difference. You can launch it on Turn #1, recover it Turn #2, launch it again on Turn #2. If you do that, however, you can't recover it again on Turn #2.

I would believe that restriction also applies if you launched with transporter, then recovered and wanted to launch with Displacement --

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you. I think that's the way it should be played; especially since the single-impulse prohibition is so clearly spelled out.

Thank you both for your input, gentlemen Smile

The order is not implied. You can do them in either order.

(I do want to note that this is a fair question, as order IS implied occasionally. This is definitely not one of those times.)

EDIT: Oh, yeah, the second question.

It doesn't matter how the satellite ship is launched. It may only be launched once per turn by any method.
