The message was broadcast into space a single time via frequency modulated radio waves at a ceremony to mark the remodeling of the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico on 16 November 1974. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The message was aimed at the current location of M13, about 25,000 light years from Earth, because M13 was a large and relatively close collection of ...
Before the discovery of electromagnetic waves and the development of radio communication, there were many wireless telegraph systems proposed and tested. [4] In April 1872 William Henry Ward received U.S. patent 126,356 for a wireless telegraphy system where he theorized that convection currents in the atmosphere could carry signals like a telegraph wire.

The first car radio was introduced in 1922, but it was so large that it took up too much space in the car. [70] The first commercial car radio that could easily be installed in most cars went for sale in 1930. [71] [72]
First satellite with radio transmitter [1] October 4, 1957 Soviet Union: Project SCORE: First communications satellite [1] First test of a space communications relay system First (recorded) voice transmission (U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower) December 18, 1958 United States: TIROS-1: First satellite to transmit television images from space ...
It has been suggested that this section be merged into Active SETI. ( Discuss ) Proposed since February 2025. The 1986 Poetica Vaginal signal, briefly transmitted from the MIT Millstone Radar , was an techno-art project created by Joe Davis who was concerned about government censorship of messages such as the removal of genitalia on the Voyager ...
The Wow! signal represented as "6EQUJ5". The original printout with Ehman's handwritten exclamation is preserved by Ohio History Connection. [1]The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope in the United States, then used to support the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
The discovery of the radio reflecting ionosphere in 1902, led physicists to conclude that the layer would bounce any astronomical radio transmission back into space, making them undetectable. [1] Karl Jansky made the discovery of the first astronomical radio source serendipitously in the early 1930s.
The message recorded of Eisenhower.. SCORE (Signal Communications by Orbiting Relay Equipment) was the world's first purpose-built communications satellite.Launched aboard an American Atlas rocket on December 18, 1958, SCORE provided the second test of a communications relay system in space (the first having been provided by the USAF/NASA's Pioneer 1), [3] the first broadcast of a human voice ...
