Sixty-three years ago today, on July 11th, 1962 (June 10th, 1962 in the lunar calendar), satellite broadcasted global television for the first time. Technicians assembled communication satellites on the third stage of the Triangle rocket On July 11, 1962, Americans saw the television broadcast live from Europe for the first time. This program was broadcast by France and Britain through communication satellites. The first broadcast time was 7:35. When France broadcast a seven-minute program, including songs sung by Yves-Montana, it was the break of eastern dawn. The British radio station set up in the nearest orbit of the satellite broadcast the test square and the congratulatory message of the British government. The television signal transmitted from the communication satellite is received in Andover, Maine, and the antenna weighs 384 tons. The successful transatlantic television broadcast prompted the U.S. government to begin to study and explore opportunities and problems in the new field of global television.
