Five flight spacecraft of three configurations were built by Hughes from 1966 to 1969. In October 2000, Hughes became Boeing Satellite Systems, Inc. The satellites were designed as basic buses capable of carrying a variety of scientific payloads. A score of experiments were flown to conduct investigations in the fields of space and communications, satellite stabilization, meteorology, and the orbital environment.BI214329 (71-10008)Maximum size:3200px × 4000px (~36 MB)10.6in × 13.3in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1960s-adults-Applications Technology Satellite (ATS) Program-blue-blue skies-day-exteriors-factory workers-gray color-grid patterns-ground shots-high-tech / advanced-historic production status-historic significance-inspecting-male-occupations and work-one person-photos-researchers-satellites-solar panels-space-sunshine-symmetry-three-quarter length views-viewed from below-yellowRelated Photo/Videos:View All
