An American satellite, abandoned in 1967 as a piece of Space Junk has begun transmitting again after 46 years. Lincoln Experimental Satellite refers to a series of satellites designed and built by Lincoln Laboratory at MIT between 1965 and 1976, under USAF sponsorship, for testing devices and techniques for satellite communication. The series had satellites named LES1 through LES9. They suffered a number of launch problems – LES1 and LES2 were supposed to be delivered to the same 2800 x 15000 km orbit, though a failure of a boost stage left LES1 in a 2800 km circular orbit. www.thevintagenews.com/2016/06/12/a-us-satellite-started-transmitting-46-years-after-being-abandoned-in-1967/ |

Wouldn't it be cool if started transmitting television and radio shows from the 1960's?

But consider the possibility that those satellites may broadcast warnings of foreign military intervention into American air space, Vietnam actions etc based upon data programmed in some 46 years earlier.
What might the consequences be then?
Modern technology could be the catalyst for an all out attack.

But think of the fact that we would be the ones who really knew what Thailand was like then.....and others may be jealous |

Not sure I like the name radio Archaeolog for that.....makes me feel old as archaeology uses refers to past cultures...not those in this lifetime.
