2002 TELSTAR Andover, ME Milestone Plaque Dedication in the Andover Town
Common
Until recently there was a visitor's centre at Goonhilly in
Cornwall, where the signals were sent and received using Goonhilly 1
– “Arthur”. It's still in use, though it's been given a
replacement skin. The nearby petrol station is called Telstar (a nice
thing to see on your bank statement if you paid by card). The Visitor
Centre will apparently re-open at some point:

I've been there a couple of times in the past and look forward to
taking the family there when it re-opens. My wife however seems
slightly less excited.

TELSTAR
ANNIVERSARY
Veteran broadcaster Robert Trout remembers 35 years ago today when TELSTAR,
the world's first communication satellite was used. Before TELSTAR the
only radio link between the continents was short-wave. With TELSTAR, for
18 minutes every two and half hours.
Remember the song TELSTAR? LISTEN TO
IT ON NPR!
There is also A new book out on Joe Meek also.
