Beskrivning : Kennedy Space Center post stamp and Fleetsatcom satellite.
The FLEETSATCOM (Fleet Satellite Communications) communications satellite system will serve as a world-wide UHF communications link among USN aircraft, ships, submarines, and ground stations. This high-capacity spaceborne communications system will give the Navy both shore-to-fleet and single-way communication among ships, aircraft, and submarines separated by distances exceeding line-of-sight UHF ranges. The satellite provided 30 voice channels and 12 teletypewriter channels simultaneously in UHF.
The FSC satellite was the heaviest communications satellite the United States had attempted to orbit, exceeding the previous leader, TACSAT-1, by over 250 lbs.
