	Syncom 1, 2, 3
		Syncom 2 was launched into a high altitude orbit from Cape Canaveral on 26 July 1963.
		Syncom 3 was launched from Cape Kennedy on 16 August 1964 and injected into an elliptical orbit inclined 16 degrees to the equator following a third stage yaw maneuver.
		These maneuvers were completed by 23 September, and Syncom 3 was used in a variety of communications tests, including the transmission of the Olympics, transmissions between the Philippines, USNS Kingsport, and Camp Roberts, California, and teletype transmissions to an aircraft on the San Francisco-Honolulu route.

		Syncom was a program of three experimental, active communication satellites which was started by NASA in 1961.
		Syncom 1 was launched on February 14 1963 with a launch vehicle Thor Delta #16 at Cape Canaveral and was lost on the way to geostationary orbit due to electronics failure.
		Syncom 2 was the first geosynchronous communication satellite build by Hughes Aircraft Company's facility in Culver City, California and launched by NASA on July 26 1963 with a launch vehicle Thor Delta #20 at Cape Canaveral.

	Syncom
		The first geostationary satellite was Syncom 3, launched to provide live daily TV coverage of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics which it did successfully.
		The two functioning Syncoms were eventually handed over to the Department of Defense to provide reliable transpacific communications; Syncom 2 was “walked” along the equator using its control thrusters, until it had joined its sister on the other side of the globe.
		Syncom was the descendant of Relay and Telstar and the immediate of more capable geostationary satellites such as Intelsat.

		Syncom 2 had an orbital inclination of 33Â° due to its launch from a site north of the equator.
		This meant that Syncom 2 was not actually stationary over one point on the Earth's surface, but moved in an elongated figure-eight pattern between 33Â° north and 33Â° south of the equator.
		Syncom 2 measured 2 feet, 4 inches (0.71 meter) in diameter, with a solar panel height of 1 foot, 3 inches (0.39 cm).

		Syncom 2 was developed and built by Hughes Aircraft Company (whose satellite manufacturing unit later became Boeing Satellite Systems) to demonstrate the feasibility of communications from geosynchronous orbit, which offers numerous advantages over low-Earth orbit.
		On August 19, 1964, Syncom 2 was joined in orbit by Syncom 3, the third of three geosynchronous satellites built by Hughes under a contract with NASA.
		Syncom 3 was deployed in time to provide the first live television coverage of an Olympics, relaying the 1964 Games in Tokyo.

		Syncom 1, a model of the satellite only intended for a few voice channels never made it off the ground, exploding at launch in February 1963.
		With a wider band receiver, Syncom 3 could accommodate television signals and was used during the Tokyo Olympics to deliver the first continuous transoceanic television broadcast.
		With the success of Syncom 2 and Syncom 3, Hughes Aircraft was selected to build a satellite based on its previously demonstrated technology but with commercial frequencies.

		Syncom IV-F5 is the last in a series of five Navy satellites built by Hughes Communications Services Inc. It is designed to provide worldwide, high-priority communications between aircraft, ships, submarines and land-based stations for the U.S. military services and the Presidential Command Network.
		Another unique feature of the Syncom IV series of satellites is the lack of requirement for a separately purchased upper stage, as have all other communications satellites launched to date from the Shuttle.
		The Syncom IV satellites contain their own unique upper stage to transfer them from the Shuttle deploy orbit of about 160 nm to a circular orbit 19,300 nm over the equator.

		The first geosynchronous satellite was supposed to be Syncom 1, but that satellite was lost soon after its launch on Valentine's Day in 1963.
		Syncom 2 was used for telephone, teletype and TV signals.
		Even though Syncom 2 was a geosynchronous satellite, it wasn't quite a true "geostationary" satellite which would seem to hover above a single spot on the Earth's surface.

		Syncom, a joint NASA and the Department of Defense satellite built by Hughes, was designed for Clarke's geosynchronous orbit.
		Syncom 3 was launched the following year in August 1964 into a geostationary orbit, in time for relaying the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
		Syncom used military frequencies, and so trials by telecommunications companies tended be done with Relay and Telstar, which used commercial bands.

		The first geosynchronous communications satellite was Hughes ' Syncom 2, launched on July 26 1963.
		However, Syncom 2 was positioned in an inclined orbit, so special tracking equipment was needed to see it.

		Unfortunately, Syncom 1—launched 1963 February 14—while successfully reaching geosynchronous orbit in an inclined, eccentric orbit was unsuccessful due to an electronics failure.
		Syncom 3—launched 1964 August 19—became the first geostationary satellite, finally fulfilling the prediction made by Clarke almost twenty years earlier.
		Figure 2 shows the difference between a geostationary orbit (GSO) and a geosynchronous orbit (GEO) with an inclination of 20 degrees.

		An immediate antecedent of the geostationary satellites was Hughes â Syncom 2, launched on July 26, 1963.
		Syncom 2 revolved around the earth once per day at constant speed, but because it still had north-south motion special equipment was needed to track it.
		A satellite in a geostationary orbit appears to be in a fixed position to an earth-based observer.

		However, the maneuver did not activate the Syncom, and it was left in a useless orbit for possible future repair.
		During the first of two space walks, Fisher floated to the Syncom with an MMU backpack and brought the satellite back to the shuttle, where van Hoften assisted in securing the satellite in the shuttle's payloab bay.

		Syncom 2 was successfully launched in July 1963.
		Like Syncom 1, it was not intended to achieve a stationary synchronous orbit because of the extra propellant weight and control complexity required to attain 0-deg inclination.
		The Advanced Syncom program was sometimes called Syncom II, which, in some references, is difficult to distinguish from the second satellite of the original Syncom program (Syncom 2 in this report).
