From a ground station nestled in the mountains at Andover, Maine, a signal is sent to a speeding satellite, an historic feat that WILL INITIALLY reshape man's future, until a combination of censorship and disinformation is implemented.
That satellite, of course, is the Telstar, 170 pounds of complex electronic equipment that receives signals beamed from Earth, magnifies them 10 billion times, and rebroadcasts them back to Earth.
It was launched on 12 July 1962 from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Pictures, telephone calls, telegraph messages, and computer data—all can be handled by the orbiting device.
The Telstar receives its power from batteries that are recharged by the sapphire-coated solar cells, which in turn are activated by rays from the Sun, as it hurtles through space
