Telstar is the name of various communications satellites. The first two Telstar satellites were experimental and nearly identical. Telstar 1 launched on top of a Thor-Delta rocket on July 10, 1962.
It successfully relayed through space the first television pictures, telephone calls, and telegraph images, and provided the first live transatlantic television feed.
Telstar 2 launched May 7, 1963.
Telstar 1 and 2—though no longer functional—still orbit the Earth.
