Communication waves and the relation between power transmitted and received in Space Communications
United States Air Force training film about Space Communications and the related problems and developments. Animation: Planets, remotely controlled unmanned space research vehicles in space. Space communication links between the vehicles and Earth. Radio waves are reflected, refracted and absorbed. An antenna radiates waves that are dispersed. Communication and light waves on the frequency spectrum. Groundwave and Skywave transmission explained. Skywave transmission reflected back to Earth by the ionized layers in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Bouncing of signal in optimal conditions. Spacewave travels from transmitting to receiving antenna, and travels unaffected through the ionosphere into outer planetary space. Depicts laws that govern Line of Sight transmission: Relation between power transmitted and power received, and ideal and regular conditions. Explains the factors involved in the relation between the power transmitted and received. Comparison of communication and light waves. Inverse Square Law explained. The law applied to Space Communication: Signal generated from point source, energy dispersed in shape of sphere, energy spreads over expanding spherical area. Outlines a practical approach to strengthen received power: Directing the radiating energy, and enlarging area of the receiving antenna.
U.S. space shuttle Discovery launches two satellites in space during mission STS-51G.
Two satellites launched into space by United States space shuttle Discovery. (During STS-51G, three satellites were launched: MORELOS-A, for Mexico; ARABSAT-A, for Arab Satellite Communications Organization; and TELSTAR-3D, for AT&T.) An Arabic news bulletin informs about the launch of Saudi Arabian satellite. Space Shuttle Discovery is shown at ignitiion, launch, and as it takes off from the United States and moves upwards in the sky on June 17, 1985. Men inside the space shuttle include Sultan Salman Al Saud from Saudi Arabia. The men work on controls. A communication satellite after being launched near the earth into outer space. Another satellite launch is shown. A news anchor reads out the news related to the launch of the communication satellites.
Space and aeronautics events in 1957 including Sputnik 2 launch with dog Laika, U.S. Vanguard rocket, and NATO missile diplomacy
Major "space race" and defense events of the year 1957. Laika, Soviet space dog prepared for the space flight. Laika takes off in Sputnik 2 in Soviet Union. An animation shows the spacecraft in outer space. In United States, Space Race efforts to launch a small "grapefruit" satellite on Vanguard TV-3 test rocket meet in failure as the rocket explodes at take off on December 6, 1957. View of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. President Dwight D Eisenhower arrives in Paris, France to talk about the development of missiles with other NATO leaders. The French Prime Minister Felix Gaillard with President Eisenhower. View of Atlas missile SM-65A Serial 12A launched successfully from Cape Canaveral pad LC-14 in Florida, United States, on December 17, 1957.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) officials check features of new Apollo command module
Apollo 204 review board at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in United States. Astronaut Frank Borman, member of the Apollo 204 Review Board, enters new Apollo command module. Technicians fit an outer door in place on the capsule and then remove it. Astronaut Michael Collins, who is also inside the capsule, then places an inner seal door in place and it is removed, again. Officials consult. Frank Borman exits the module. Collins discusses the outer door with technicians at the top of the stairs, emphasizing the need to be able to push the door open readily. Borman talks with group at bottom of stairs. All gather around and discuss inner seal door that is laid out on floor. Borman chews gum, in background. Group gathers around the capsule again and then disperses.
Cosmonauts communicate with mission control center while onboard Soyuz spacecraft in orbit
Weightless Soviet cosmonauts working onboard a Soyuz spacecraft in orbit in outer space. The cosmonaut opens a toolbox and brings out tools. Aerial view of an area of earth as seen from outer space. A cosmonaut floats beside another cosmonaut reading a book or manual onboard spacecraft. The floating cosmonaut puts on a communications cap or Communications Carrier Assembly, and sits down. View of Soviet scientists and engineers in a Russian mission control center on earth managing the mission.
Successful space tour of two monkeys Able and Baker aboard the nosecone of the Jupiter Missile from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The Monkeys Able and Baker's tour to outer space from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Rhesus monkey Able and Squirrel monkey Baker in the space suits. Scientists place the monkeys aboard the nosecone of the Jupiter missile. Scientists make the preparation and the missile is launched. The monkeys travel for 300 miles in space. The nose cone is recovered at sea. Monkeys are taken out of the cone. A press conference organized at the headquarters of NASA for the space monkeys.
