The article mentions robotic vehicles as possible ways to retrieve Vanguard I. wouldn't it be possible for the shuttle to retrieve it?

It'd be good to see the thing back home. I wonder if they'll do a full studdy of it & its systems (I know they don't work) to see how well they've stood up to being up in orbit for so long.
