- Pennant, "Telstar U.S.A., Andover, Me.," 1962-1965 - Telstar, the first commercial communication satellite, was launched in July 1962. The low-Earth-orbit satellite transmitted messages to tracking stations in the U.S. and Europe. The Andover, Maine, station consisted of a giant antenna covered with a fabric dome. In the 1960s, thousands of visitors flocked to see this space-age "bubble" -- and perhaps buy a souvenir to remember their experience.

- Brochure, "Missile and Space Vehicle Department: A Department of the Defense Electronics Division," circa 1962 - General Electric formed its Missile and Space Vehicle Department in 1955 to research and develop a re-entry vehicle (or nose cone) for the Air Force Atlas Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). The department later broadened its services to other space-related projects--satellites, probes, and human-crewed space vehicles--and created a Space Technology Center to test aspects of its research.
