Today we take global connectivity for granted, but Australia first connected to the world via satellite just 60 years ago, in November 1966, opening a new era of “live” international communication. This talk will explore the impact of satellite communication on Australia, enabling us to connect globally and locally, and how South Australia played its part, hosting one of the earliest satellite ground stations.
