Passive Communications Satellite or PasComSat also known as OV1-8 was a communications satellite launched by USAF in 1966 as part of the Orbiting Vehicle program. The satellite functioned as a reflector not a transceiver so that after it was placed in low earth orbit a signal would be sent to it reflected or bounced off its surface and then returned to Earth.
