On 10th July 1962, the world’s first international communications satellite, Telstar I, was launched into orbit. Telstar I was introduced the world to trans-Atlantic video feeds and ushered in a new era of communication.
The launch was a collaboration between the US, Britain, and France. Ever since then we have seen many satellites being launched in to the space. Recently, Pakistan in collaboration with China even launched two satellites Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite-1 (PRSS-1) and Pakistan Technology Evaluation Satellite-1A (PakTES-1A) in to the space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China.
The two satellites were propelled in to space with the Chinese Long March 2C launch vehicle.
