raels first ground satellite station

erated by the ministry of commu-
nications after July 26.

eron. reproduced by photolitho-
graphy) shows a circling satellite
and a "deep dish" radiowave re-
flector, for the installation will
permit the sending and receiving
of live television broadcasts from
abroad. The satellite station also
will carry telex, telephone, radio
and press messages and photo-
graphs which also are carried by
the undersea cable linking Israel
with France.

munications traffic is approaching

in the world in satellite utilization
and a seat on the board of the
International Union for Satellite
