Infrastructure development has progressed at a rapid pace toward the last Olympic Games in 1964, and the scenery has changed significantly. The video at that time will be released in a series. ======= In order to convey the Tokyo Olympics to the world on TV, plans are underway to send images via “space relay.” The video shows the International Electroelectric Space Communication Laboratory under construction in Juou Town, Taga District, Ibaraki Prefecture. On the afternoon of July 7, 1963, a tracking experiment of the American communication satellite “Telstar No. 2” was conducted with a parabolic antenna for tracking. Stable tracking was done and a complete record of the orbit was taken. The experiment was successful. When the communication satellite “Cincom 3” used for relaying the Olympics was launched from the Kennedy space station in Florida, USA on August 19, 1964 and arrived at the final geostationary point over the equator as the world’s first geostationary satellite. A “loop test” was conducted from 11:00 pm to the next morning on September 12. A test signal is sent from the Kashima Ground Station of the Radio Research Institute of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Kashima Town, Ibaraki Prefecture (currently Kashima City), which was almost completed, and it is confirmed whether it will return by relaying the satellite. The direct line of this antenna is 10m for transmission and 30m for reception, and it was touted as Yoichi Azuma. The success of the test “certains the ability to broadcast the Tokyo Olympics on space television,” the news at the time reported. * There is no narration in this video. note that.
