ATS-1 was a communications satellite intended to test geostationary orbit techniques at 23000 mi (37000 km) above Earth initially in orbit over Ecuador. It transmitted weather images and data to ground stations as well as video feeds for television broadcasting. It was the first satellite to use frequency division multiple access which accepted multiple independent signals and downlinked them in a single carrier.
