“The further conquest of space will make it possible, for example, to create systems of satellites making daily revolutions around our planet at an altitude of some 40,000 kilometers, and to assure universal communications and the relaying of radio and television transmissions. Such an arrangement might prove more useful, economically, than the construction of radio relay systems over the whole surface of the earth. The great accuracy of movement of these satellites will provide a reliable basis for solving navigational problems” WholeProblemMightEarthSpaceExampleMovementTelevisionPlanetsCommunicationRevolutionProveUniversalBasesRadioSurfaceConstructionArrangementsConquestOur PlanetAccuracySatellitesTransmissionRelays Author:Sergei Korolev
