Commercial rocket launchIn 1989, the first communications satellite, Marcopolo I, for the first television direct broadcast service in the United Kingdom was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on the first US commercial satellite rocket, a Delta booster. A similar satellite, Marcopolo II was launched on 17 Aug 1990. Each satellite was equipped with three 110-watt channels, each having enough power to be received by very small (35cm/13.5-in diam.), low-cost receiving dishes. Their footprint covered the U.K. The satellites were powered by large area solar cells, and had nickel-cadmium cells as back-up while the Earth eclipsed the Sun.« |
