A description is given of major program objectives and experiment requirements established for ATS-6. The ability to slew across the earth's disk in less than 30 min was needed to support tightly scheduled communication operations involving different parts of the earth. Two major experiments were developed which involve direct satellite relay of educational color television programs to simple ground receivers. Details of spacecraft configuration are discussed along with aspects of spacecraft ground testing. The ATS-6 was successfully launched on schedule from Cape Canaveral on May 30, 1974, with the aid of a Titan IIIC. The in-orbit performance of the spacecraft communication subsystem has been excellent.
