Administra-tion. On August 15, conventional convention-al telephone circuits and Echo were linked together to transmit trans-mit tht' first telephone call via satellite. The 100-foot balloon made of aluminized plastic material celebrated cel-ebrated its first anniversary aloft al-oft Saturday when it crossed the equator for the 4,481st time. Although its surface is wrinkled wrink-led some'svhat like the skin of a dried prune the satellite is still being used as an efficient reflector for radio signals. It is expected to remain" in orbit at least txo more years. Echo shot into space a year -ago at 2:40, a.m. (Mountain Standard Time and was directed direct-ed into' neirly perfect orbit, 1,000 miles above the earth, by a guidance system developed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Laborator-ies. As the satellite sped around the earth, information aout its course was fed to two giant antennasNASA's an-tennasNASA's at Goldstone, California and the Bell Ssystems atHolmdel, New Jersey. Two hours after launching, at a point somewhere above Nebraska, Ne-braska, the satellite was within radio range of both stations and these words cameover the Loud speaker at Holmdel " This is President Eisenhower speaking." "For many days thereafter voice broadcasts, telephone conversations, con-versations, photographs and data messages were caromed back and forth across the continent con-tinent wth Echo, traveling 16,-16,000 16,-16,000 mles an hour serving as 000 miles an hour, serving as a reflector for the radio signals. Echo clearly demonstrated the feasibility of satellite com-muncations com-muncations and the Bell System Sys-tem and NASA recently signed an agreement for lauching at least two experimental satellites. satel-lites. The Beli System will develop de-velop the satellite and pay for the rocket and launching costs. NASA will provide for the availability av-ailability of the launching vehicle ve-hicle and facilities. The first satellite will be put into orbit next. April. This one will be "active" in that it will contain transmitting and re-ceivig re-ceivig equipment. It will be roughly spherical, but may have as many as 60 flat surfaces or gem-like, facets. Solar cells, invented in-vented at Bell Laboratories, will be mounted on the facets to provide power to operate the transmitting and receiving equipment. The solar cells will be covered wtih sapphires and it is hoped the satellite will endure en-dure the rigors of space for 10 years or more. The Bell System's experimental experimen-tal satellite should be able to handle 600 two-way transoceanic transoce-anic telephone calls or "live" TV.
