Definición

  • In an article called “Extra-Terrestrial Relays,” which appeared in the October 1945 issue of the magazine Wireless World, journalist and science-fiction author Arthur C.

Nearly 20 years later, in July 1962, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) launched Telstar, the first real-time telecommunications satellite.
