Project Echo was the first passive communications satellite experiment. Each of the two American spacecraft, launched in 1960 and 1964, were metalized balloon satellites acting as passive reflectors of microwave signals.
Following the failure of the Delta rocket carrying Echo 1 on May 13, 1960, Echo 1A was put successfully into orbit by another Thor-Delta, [8] [9] and the first microwave transmission was received on August 12, 1960. Echo 2 was a 41.1-meter (135 ft) diameter metalized PET film balloon, which was the last balloon satellite launched by Project ...
Bell Labs' horn antenna, April 2007. The horn antenna at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Holmdel, New Jersey, was constructed on Crawford Hill in 1959 to support Project Echo, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's passive communications satellites, [8] [5] which used large aluminized plastic balloons (satellite balloon) as reflectors to bounce radio signals from one point on the ...
This became Project Echo, which in 1960 achieved success as the first passive communications satellite experiment. [20] The first message so sent was a taped greeting by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. [21] Also in 1960, the 60-foot antenna at Crawford Hill was used to transmit and bounce a radio signal off the Moon that was received at ...
Echo I or Echo 1 or variant, may refer to: Echo I-class submarine of the Soviet Navy; Echo 1, a 1960 NASA Project Echo passive communications satellite that failed to make it to space; Echo 1A, a 1960 NASA Project Echo passive communications satellite that was NASA's first comm satellite, thus also referred to as "Echo 1"
[13] [clarification needed] (An experimental passive satellite, Echo 1, had been used to reflect and redirect communications signals two years earlier, in 1960.) In August 1962, Telstar 1 became the first satellite used to synchronize time between two continents, bringing the United Kingdom and the United States to within 1 microsecond of each ...
