Extract

I am taking as a starting point the basic assumption that the most immediate and feasible use for an earth satellite from an economic and commercial point of view is as a link in the existing world telecommunication system. This is a small part of the field of U.S. space programmes, but is the first application of satellite systems to be commercially viable. It is now uppermost in our minds and the tests to be made during this summer give immediate reality to the project.
