If it's this hard to guess, based on an actual sample, I guess it's hardly something that folks have been crying out for!
Depends on who you are?
In this case the project is happening because of value of the music itself and the composer, whose work we really like and feel strongly should be available.
Sometimes you have do something that you feel needs to be done.
This is one of those projects.

NO idea, but sounds quite lovely. I'm anxious to learn what the title is.

Hmmm, I don't think I heard this cue before so just as a wild guess - how about TIME WALKER (1982) by Richard Band ??
I was gonna guess MAKING CONTACT, but this would be the cat's pajamas. The clip sounds very Band-like.
Oh man, what I wouldn't give for it to be Making Contact. Such an underrated & forgotten gem!

I remember that score perhaps someday, but not now.

I'm listening over and over. Truly stumped.
Definitely not Band's Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype. Just scrubbed that whole film on Youtube and found no corroborating cue.
If it IS Band, it's definitely not one of his films I'm familiar with and to my ear, it doesn't really sound like him anyway.
Doesn't seem to be Laurie Johnson's work, nor John Cacavas, nor David Michael Frank... I know I'm really reaching here, but I'm leaning toward it not being one of the, you know, usual suspects.
I don't think it's Joel Goldsmith, nor David Newman, nor Brian May. Robert Folk doesn't have any 80's sci-fi to his resume.
Almost sounds like it could be David Shire's BLUE YONDER but I don't think it is.
Orchestra sounds small. I'm gonna guess it's on the lower-budget end. TV project maybe. Something by Billy Goldenberg maybe?
It's probably none of the above, but this is kinda fun!

Me too, maybe it is something from the New World archives again ?
ANDROID by Don Preston ?
Cool little film, nice score.
Maybe someday, but not now.

First thing that hit me -- VERY Band-like both in orchestration and style. Sounds like a small orchestra (if that) and maybe some minor performance issues (also typical of the Band scores I've heard, being from what might charitably be called "low budget" films). I'm not knocking him, I rather like his recordings, in part because with the small orchestras individual performances are clear and vivid, not unlike the early MMM re-recordings (which I also love!)
You can rule out Richard Band this time around.

Did Brad Fiedel write any orchestral sci-fi scores? I know I was surprised when I heard "Night School" and it was orchestral, so we can't rule out the likes of him either.
Fiedel did a 1986 TV sci-fier called NORTHSTAR but that's all synth. Unrelatedly, NIGHT SCHOOL would be a cool release...
... William Goldstein?
... Lee Holdridge's made-for-TV 14 GOING ON 30 from 1988? That one's orchestral.
One of Laurence Rosenthal's 8 billion TV scores from the 80's?
Bob Summers' 1981 sci-fi comedy EARTHBOUND? That's orchestral, too.
Some good ideas, but no.
