…The idea of using artificial satellites as relay stations was predicted early on by author A. Clark as a use of geostationary satellite orbit. However, this was not realized until rocket and satellite technology advanced, and the first communications satellites were attempted as echo satellites that orbited at an altitude of about 1,500 km, reflecting radio waves sent from the ground and receiving them at another point. A little later, satellites with the function of relaying communications were created, and artificial satellites were developed that received radio waves from the ground, amplified them, and transmitted them to receiving stations on the ground. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "echo (artificial satellite)" are listed below.

…人工衛星を中継局として用いるアイデアは,作家のA.クラークが静止衛星軌道の利用として早くから予言していた。しかしこれはロケットや衛星技術が進歩するまでは実現せず,最初の通信衛星には,約1500kmの高度の軌道で,地上から送った電波を反射して別の地点で受信をする原理のエコー衛星が試みられた。これにややおくれて,通信を中継する機能をもった衛星が作られ,地上からの電波を人工衛星が受信して,これを増幅して地上の受信局に送信するものが出てきた。… ※「エコー(人工衛星)」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
