A proposed satellite-aided educational television (ETV) system for Argentina is described in this Spanish-language report. The requirements and advantages of such a system are discussed, and some other studies of satellite-aided ETV are summarized. International and legal considerations, and problems of integrating existing Argentine TV stations…

Describes how a communication satellite works. (LS)

A discussion of India's Satellite Instructional Television Experiment (SITE). Beginning August, 1975, technologists, social scientists, politicians, and many others have been watching and assessing the progress of the experiment. (Author/HB)

An address to a UNESCO conference on satellite broadcasting. (JW)

Since the previous status report in November of 1970, there has been little progress made in the actual implementation of domestic satellite television systems, because comprehensive technical specifications had not been provided by the three broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS. When the requirements were submitted to the interested vendors, PBS…

Two recent developments in communications satellite technology may speed the coming of cable TV (CATV) networks. First, increases in satellite power are reducing the cost of ground stations. Second, a connection between one ground station, the satellite, and any other ground station is no longer necessarily fixed. Now one station can communicate…

A brief discussion of how satellites can provide instructional television with both breadth and specificity. (Author)

The use of satellite technology to bring much needed information, such as career education messages to remote areas of Rocky Mountain States is the subject of this paper. Both software and hardware aspects of this demonstration project are discussed. (Author)
