Today, people are able to watch the same thing on TV at the same time across the globe. But until the 1960s, it was impossible. Six decades ago, the development of satellite communications allowed us to broadcast television beyond the horizon — and the ionosphere. The way satellite communications work is that they receive a data transmission from E...
In 1957, Russia launched Sputnik 1, Earth’s first artificial satellite. Then, in 1958, several scientists from Bell Telephone Laboratories brainstormed an experiment using shiny balloons as satellites to measure the reflective properties of the atmosphere. They hoped that this project would evolve to enable scientists to send data across oceans. Me...
The mission was a dazzling success. It succeeded at each of its five objectives. It demonstrated that two-way communication via a satellite-facilitated telephone call was possible, in August 1960. Then, it proved it was possible to transmit ground-based signals using reflection on April 24, 1962, 60 years ago. Echo also smashed its other goals to s...
By the end of 1962, communications giant AT&T launched Telstar, the first active communications satellite — Echo 1 paved the way. Like Echo 1, Telstar launched from Cape Canaveral on a Thor-Delta rocket, and though no longer active, it continues to orbit the Earth. The Telstar was responsible for the first transatlantic broadcasts, from stations in...
