The first active communication satellite-Telstar I-was launched from Cape Canaveral by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on 10th July, 1962, and was later followed by Relay and Telstar II. Since the 10th July, 1962, many tests and demonstrations of television, multichannel telephony and telegraphy, facsimile and data transmission have been made via these experimental satellites. In addition, much data has been accumulated on microwave propagation, earth-station receiving system noise temperatures and satellite tracking accuracy. Such tests and data will be of considerable value for the planning and design of future operational communication-satellite systems.
