  Modellers' Guide to Thor-Able Star and Delta Rockets
Courier 1B was an early communication satellite that was the first to receive and relay messages through transponders.
Courier 1B was launched on October 4, 1960 and functioned for 17 days before it failed to respond to ground commands.
Courier 1B received the signal and then amplified it before re-transmitting it to another ground station.

The Courier Satellite, launched in 1960 and developed and built under the supervision of the Army Fort Monmouth Laboratories, was the experimental communications satellite that proved high-volume communications, up to 100,000 words per minute, could be relayed through space.
The Courier satellite had first been proposed by the Army Signal Corps back in September 1958, two months before the launch of the SCORE satellite.
On 4 October 1960, the Army's Courier 1B satellite was launched into low earth orbit.

 Courier
The objective of the Courier program was to develop a satellite of higher capacity and longer life than SCORE, which could be used for communication tests and assessments of traffic handling techniques.
The concept was similar to SCORE in that the primary operating mode was store-and-dump using onboard tape recorders.
Unlike SCORE, Courier was a self-contained satellite and had both solar cells and rechargeable batteries for power supply.

 CERN Courier - Second postcard from the isl - IOP Publishing - article
The article "First postcard from the island of nuclear stability" (CERN Courier September 1999) reported the first results obtained at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna, on the synthesis of superheavy nuclei in fusion reaction induced by a calcium-48 beam.
As can be seen from figure 1b, all decays are strictly correlated; the five signals in the front detectors - the recoil nucleus, three alpha particles and fission fragments - deviate by no more than 0.6 mm.
The alpha-particle energies and the half-lives of the nuclei in the three decay chains, the first alpha decays and those detected after the accelerator was switched off are all consistent between each other within the limits of the detector energy resolution (60 keV) and the statistical fluctuations in the decay time of the events.

By cutting off and restarting as much as 20 minutes after the launch sequence had ended, the Ablestar was able to correct its orbit, making it more circular or elliptical as the case might require.
The Army-developed Courier 1B, the world's first active repeater communications satellite, was launched by Thor Ablestar on October 4th, 1960.
Courier 1B had aboard a receiver-recorder-transmitter system capable of recording 36 hours of message transmissions and reproducing them in 15 minutes as it passed over a ground station.

 TIME.com: Courier from Earth -- Oct. 17, 1960 -- Page 1
The most important items in Courier iB are five tape recorders, one of them handling voice and the other four (some are standbys) recording and transmitting high-speed Teletype messages.
This permits communication on line-of-sight microwaves between places such as Fort Monmouth and Puerto Rico, which are separated by a high bulge of the earth's curvature.
Courier 1B, however successful, is only an experimental job.

All existing antiproton measurements originate from balloon-borne experiments operating at altitudes around 40 km for approximately 24 h (see figure 1a; figure 1b shows the situation for positrons).
In figures 1a and 1b, the PAMELA expectation after three years of data taking is shown.
These data sets exceed what is available today by several orders of magnitude, and will allow significant comparisons between competing models of antimatter production in our galaxy.
