Abstract
The transmission of telegraphic signals across the Atlantic Ocean by Marconi in 1901 was a first in communications. The transmission of information from outer space by a solar-powered transmitter aboard Vanguard I in 1958 was another first in communications. Yet neither achievement was a scientific revolution. Instead, each was the inevitable result of an orderly development to which many scientists and engineers had contributed.
