With
the Russians' successful launch of the satellite Sputnik in 1957,
the United States faced new opportunities in aerospace and with
that, Harold Rosen began to pursue work on a new communications
satellite. He focused on the geosynchronous satellite, a satellite
that orbits at the same rate as the Earth's rotation. With colleagues
Don Williams and Tom Hudspeth, Rosen ultimately developed the
first 24-hour communications satellite, enabling efficient international
telephone communication and real-time television transmission.
