The Applications Technology Satellite (ATS) program has involved geosynchronous spacecraft technology made possible by the increased capability of the Atlas-Agena launch vehicle. The ATS-1-5 program developed spin stabilized and gravity gradient stabilized spacecraft for geosynchronous orbit, earth-oriented antennae for increased antenna gain, earth-scanning meteorological experiments for continuous weather monitoring, and made possible satellite communications to mobile terminals. The ATS-6 program developed a space-deployed, high-gain antenna for color television broadcast to low-cost ground terminals and precise spacecraft attitude control for pointing, slewing, and tracking applications. All of the ATS program objectives were successfully met, except for the gravity gradient experiments. ATS-1, -3, -5, and -6 are in orbit and operational.
