The Telstars

Telstar refers to a series of communications satellites, notably including Telstar 1 and Telstar 2, launched in 1962 and 1963, respectively. Telstar 1 was the first satellite to relay live television and telecommunications across the Atlantic, marking significant advancements in satellite technology and communications. Despite operational challenges due to radiation exposure from high-altitude nuclear tests, Telstar 1 and 2 established a foundation for future satellites and commercial telecommunications, paving the way for subsequent Telstar satellites, which evolved into advanced geostationary communication spacecraft.
