A Day In History : Telstar Brings World Closer
A Day In History : Telstar Brings World Closer A ground station nestled in the mountains at Andover, Maine, a signal is sent to a speeding satellite - an historic feat that could reshape man's future. That satellite, of course, is telstar and it rebroadcasts a signal from space after amplifying it 10,000,000,000 times and thus the first pictures are transmitted to Europe -- an historic step comparable to the first message sent over the telegraph wire. Animated graphics of the Earth and satellites in space. Scenes of scientists with satellite. CU screwdriver screwing in screw on satellite. GV rocket on launch pad. Caution light? Men wearing headsets in control room. Television monitor of image being sent from satellite. Great image of American flag waving on TV monitor screen. Animation of earth with multiple satellites in orbit.
