Telstar II Comes to Life
Unaccountably After
Two Months Silence
NEW YORK —Scientists are
at a loss to explain why the Tel
star II satellite has suddenly
started operating again after near
ly a month - long communication
blackout.
A spokesman for the American
Telephone and Telegraph Co., said
a routine command sent to Telstar
Monday drew a routine response
on the satellite’s 622nd orbit.
It was launched May 7, but went
silent July 16—and engineers are
as much puzzled about that as they
are about its resumption of duties.
The satellite responded Monday
to the usual command signal from
the Bell Telephone Laboratories’
ground station at Andover, Me.
The station then gave Telstar a
television picture and sound—the
! strains of the Star Spangled Ban
ner—to relay back to earth on its
next orbit. The AT&T spokesman
said reception was good.
On the next orbit, 15 minutes
of technical test supplemented the
pictorial - sound test, and Telstar
responded perfectly, the spokes
man said.
