Telstar, though, was the true ancestor of modern communication satellites and was also the first space vehicle to be owned by a company rather than a government - in this case AT andT of America - although it was operated by a consortium including NASA and the British General Post Office.
However, because the Delta rockets used to launch Telstars 1 and 2 were not powerful enough to put their payloads into geosynchronous orbits, the satellites rose and set like the Moon.
Telstar would be visible from Britain for 40 minutes and then invisible again for the next two and a half hours – an awkward phenomenon if a televised sporting event went into extra time.

Telstar Records was a record label founded in 1982 by Sean O'Brien and Neil Palmer with a government loan of £120,000.
Telstar Records went bankrupt in 2004, largely due to the company's habit of giving large advances to artists such as Claire Sweeney, Victoria Beckham and Rosie Ribbons who failed to make them any money.
However as most of Telstar's roster were not directly signed to the label, instead being either sub-licenced or part of number of joint ventures, BMG (soon to be merged with Sony) declined in buying the label's assets outright.
