Abstract: The Society's interests in current and future communications by satellites have been manifest on our technical conference programs and in numerous papers in the Journal. In February 1972 there were, “Television Distribution by the Canadian Domestic Satellite System” by R. M. Lester; “Utilization of Domestic Satellites in the Networks of the CBC” by C. A. Siocos; and “Some Technical Considerations in Providing Television Coverage by Satellite” by J. F. D. Ball. The March 1972 Journal contained “Broadcasting From Satellites” by C. A. Siocos; “Broadcasting From Satellites — UHF Television Channel Utilization” by R. F. Zeitoun and C. A. Siocos; “Possible Technical Standards for Educational and Community Television by Satellite” by R. P. Haviland; and “Combined Educational and Television Network Satellite Distribution System” by Daniel R. Wells. In December 1972 there was “Apollo 15 and 16 Ground-Commanded Television Assembly” by Bert M. Soltoff. In October 1972 a series of papers and discussions was held in Los Angeles as the Symposium on Communication Satellites and Cable Television; those papers will soon be published in the Journal. In addition to the conventional applications related to commercial broadcasting other interesting possibilities are being investigated. Two experimental satellites, one by the U.S.A., the other Canadian, will be launched in 1974 and 1975, respectively, for experimental communication programs. New advances in traveling wave lube design are expected to simplify ground station design, lessen the size and increase mobility. We are privileged to present here, in slightly abridged form, a recent speech given by Robert W. Sarnoff on this subject. In it, he outlines some of the broad possibilities, difficulties and concerns for the future as we advance towards more simplified and efficient means of providing worldwide communication links.—Gerald G.
