All ground stations under construction which will be within reach of Comsat Corp global satellite network, are single 85-ft diam antenna systems with high capacity and efficiency; Comsat's first two-ocean-area coverage is expected to become operational by Sept 30 1966 and will provide circuits for NASA and commercial-lease use; future plans include development of 1000-lb multi-purpose communications vehicle with up to 6000-circuit capability and interim satellite system equipped to handle VHF for trans-Atlantic jet aircraft traffic control, to be employed by U S Federal Aviation Agency.
