A derivative of the Thor Delta , it was a member of the Delta rocket family Delta family of rockets. The first stage was a PGM 17 Thor Thor missile in the DM 21 configuration, and the second stage was the Delta D rocket stage Delta D , which was derived from the earlier Delta rocket stage Delta . An Altair rocket stage Altair solid rocket motor was used as a third stage. All nine launches occurred from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 17 Launch Complex 17 . Most of the launches carried communications satellites , including Syncom Syncom 1 and Syncom Syncom 2 . Syncom 1 was intended to be the first satellite to be placed into a geosynchronous orbit , however the spacecraft malfunctioned prior to reaching this orbit. Syncom 2 subsequently became the first geosynchronous satellite, and was placed at 55th meridian west 55 west of the Greenwich Meridian . The final launch failed due to third stage underperformance, all other launches were successful.

Established and funded by the European Union s Sixth Framework Programme in January 2004, the Renew consortium consisted of 33 partners from 9 European countries. More than half of the partners are industrial enterprises, remaining are research and development institutes, with the special expertise needed to perform the individual R&D tasks. The project divided into six sub projects, four of which were dedicated to the optimisation and analysis of the fuel production process and production routes for biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstock, also known as second generation biofuel .

It was based on the satellite that Hughes had built for NASA to demonstrate that communications via synchronous orbit satellite were feasible. Its booster was a Delta rocket family Thrust Augmented Delta Delta D . Originally slated to operate for eighteen months, Early Bird was in active service for four years, being deactivated in January 1969, although it was briefly activated in June of that year to serve the Apollo 11 flight when the Atlantic Intelsat satellite failed. It was deactivated again in August 1969 and has been inactive since that time except for a brief reactivation in 1990 to commemorate its 25th launch anniversary , although it remains in orbit. The Early Bird satellite was the first to provide direct and nearly instantaneous contact between Europe and North America, handling television , telephone , and Fax telefacsimile transmissions. It was fairly small, measuring nearly 76 61 cm 2.5 2.0 feet and weighing 34.5 kilogram kg 76 Pound mass pounds .

For the educationalist, see Harold Rosen educationalist . Harold A. Rosen born 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana is an electrical engineer , known as the father of the geostationary satellite . He formed and led the team that designed and built the first geosynchronous communications satellite , Syncom , for Hughes Aircraft Company. Rosen graduated from Tulane University in 1947 with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in electrical engineering. He received his Master of Science M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1948 and 1951, respectively. Rosen received the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal in 1982, and the Charles Stark Draper Prize in 1995. He was also one of the first recipients of the National Medal of Technology , in 1985. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame . During the 1990s, Rosen Motors , founded by Rosen and his brother Ben, developed a gas turbine powered Hybrid vehicle drivetrain Series hybrid series hybrid automotive powertrain using a 55,000 rpm flywheel energy storage subsystem to provide bursts of acceleration which the small gas turbine engine could not provide. The flywheel also stored energy through regenerative braking . The flywheel was composed of a titanium hub with a carbon fiber cylinder and was gimbal mounted to minimize adverse gyroscopic effects on vehicle handling. The prototype vehicle was successfully road tested in 1997 but was never mass produced. ref name Wakefield cite book title History of the Electric Automobile Hybrid Electric Vehicles last Wakefield first Ernest year 1998 publisher SAE isbn 0768001250 pages 332 ref Dr. Rosen now consults for Boeing in the design of new satellite systems.
