The Bell System's important role in satellite communications experimentation began on August 12, 1960 when a Thor-Delta missile launched Echo I, the world's first passive
communications Satellite .
Late June will see a flurry of activity, with three launches of
communications satellites. One is for the Intelsat 35e, which will become a part of Intelsat's "Epic" fleet to provide coverage over North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe and Africa.
Spacecom, a
communications satellite operator in the Middle East, European Union and North America headquartered in Ramat Gan, paid $100 million for the satellite, and the Israeli government funded the rest.
At present, Japan's broadcasting satellites use analog technology, and the current digital format for broadcasting via
communications satellite is relatively outdated.
(NTV) will enter the digital broadcasting field by using an advanced
communications satellite to be launched in August, NTV President Seiichiro Ujiie said Friday.
That launch will carry an SES 10
communications satellite to orbit, for Luxembourg's SES, aboard the company's trusted Falcon 9 rocket.
