- Applications Technology Satellites
The Applications Technology Satellites were a series of six experimental satellites launched by NASA. The program was launched in 1966 to test the feasibility of placing a satellite into the geosynchronous orbit. [cite web | url = http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/Guide/atsindex.html | title = ATS - Applications Technology Satellites (ATS I-V) | publisher = FSU Department of Meteorology] The six satellites were primarily designed to act as communication satellites, but also carried equipment related to meteorology and navigation. ATS-6 was the world's first educational satellite as well as world's first experimental Direct Broadcast Satellite as part of the Satellite Instructional Television Experiment between NASA and ISRO.
