Discusses this versatile and powerful communications geosynchronous satellite launched on 30 May 1974 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a Titan III-C rocket. The spacecraft is being used to test a variety of new space communications concepts requiring the use of geosynchronous-orbit spacecraft. These include broadcast of health and education television programmes to small, low-cost ground receiving units in remote regions; aeronautical and maritime communications, position-location, and traffic-control techniques; spacecraft tracking and data relay. All totalled, ATS-6 carries more than 20 technological and scientific experiments, many of them international in scope. A general description with a drawing is given and applications discussed.
