The First Geosynchronous Satellite
NASA began development of new communication satellites in 1960, based on the hypothesis that geosynchronous satellites, which orbit Earth 22,300 miles (35,900 km) above the ground, offered the best location because the high orbit allowed the satellites' orbital speed to match the rotation speed of Earth and therefore remain essentially stable over the same spot. Only 17 months after development began, NASA launched Syncom I, but it stopped sending signals a few seconds before it reached its final orbit. Five months later, NASA launched Syncom II, which demonstrated the viability of the system. The next Syncom transmitted live coverage of the 1964 Olympic games in Tokyo to stations in North America and Europe.
(NOTE) I added the rocket engines in.

@UFOinvestigation - how does that make sense?
i asked you why what i had commented here was removed. i am presuming that it being your video that you must have removed it, however perhaps someone else did then?
how is it nonsense, if you mean i left the direct link out that time, it is this -

why did you delete the comment about where this came from,
"Because of the needs of people like Howard Hughes, however, William Shockley would replace the radio tube with a marvelous new invention, the transistor. Suddenly, in 1963, the engineers at Hughes Electronics were able to build, and launch, Syncom I and then Syncom II. "
