Mission:	ATS 6, a much heavier, more sophisticated satellite than its five predecessors, was built by Fairchild Industries for the Goddard Space Flight Center. It was designed to serve basically as a multipurpose communications satellite with a large 9.14-meter aperture parabolic antenna. The highly successful ATS 6 was used to conduct 15 major experiments in the fields of space communications (2), space technology (3), tracking and data relay (1), space science (5), and user [327] experiments (1). Its user experiments were highly publicized, providing educational broadcasts to remote areas, communications links between rural clinics and urban hospitals, educational programs in India, and educational and medical programs in the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. Its initial geosynchronous orbit allowed users in the U.S. to take advantage of the advanced services offered by ATS 6. In 1975, NASA moved it eastward over Central Africa, from where it could be used by India. The astronauts aboard the Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft also took advantage of the new position of ATS to augment their communications links during the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in July 1975. The following year, it was repositioned over the western hemisphere again. This last ATS spacecraft was operational through August 1979.
