Abstract
During the remainder of 1962 a series of experiments in the use of space satellites for relaying microwave radio signals over long distances will be carried out. Experiments will be based on the knowledge that a satellite at several thousand miles´ altitude can provide a path of straight lines at microwave frequencies between very distant places as long as the satellite is above the horizon of the places concerned.
