The development and implementation of a domestic communications satellite system of GTE Satellite Corporation is outlined. The system will be capable of handling all types of communications traffic-telephone, telegraph, facsimilie, high-speed data, pulse-code-modulation transmission, and both colour and black-and-white color and television signals and other wide-band communications. Scheduled to become operational in late 1975, the system will include five earth stations which will be interconnected by means of a synchronous satellite 22300 miles over the equator.
