Скачать или смотреть The First Geostationary Communications Satellites - The Olympics, The Beatles and Moon Landings

Part 3 in my series on communications satellites - The first communications satellites could only maintain connections for a short time before their orbits took them below the horizon, to make a stable connection needed a satellite that orbited with the earth - a geosynchronous satellite. And that's what Syncom was - they used bigger boosters and smarter navigation to get the spacecraft into higher orbits to create the first stable satellite connections.
