Type: Communications (data relay) Sponsor: NASA Launch: 4 April 1983 at 18h30 UTC, from Cape Canaveral's LC-39A, by the Space Shuttle. Deployed from Challenger cargo bay on 5 April 1983. Orbit: Geostationary Decayed: n/a Mission:      On 27 June 2010, NASA shut down TDRS 1 after 27 years of operations. From 1983 to 1998, TDRS-1 provided NASA with the ability to communicate with other satellites in orbit. NASA reassigned TDRS-1 in 1998 to support the National Science Foundation's (NSF) U.S. Antarctic Program and others on scientific, educational and operational endeavors.       TDRS-1 worked with eight additional satellites to relay data and communications from more than 15 customers, including the NSF, the Hubble Space Telescope, the shuttle and the International Space Station. The TDRS system provides the capability not only to send commands and receive data, but also to navigate and talk with crews in orbit.       TDRS-1 was the first satellite used to support launches from the Kennedy Space Center in the early 1990s, returning  real-time telemetry. It eliminated a dead zone over the Indian Ocean where there previously was no communication, providing full coverage for the space shuttle and low-Earth orbiting satellites.       TDRS-1 proved helpful during a 1999 medical emergency at the NSF's Antarctic Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. The satellite's high-speed Internet connectivity allowed personnel to conduct telemedicine conferences. Doctors in the United States aided Dr. Jerri Nelson, who had breast cancer, in performing a self-biopsy and administering chemotherapy. Later, in 2002, doctors used TDRS-1 to  perform another telemedicine conference with the station to assist in knee surgery for a meteorologist.       Because of its orbit, the satellite was able to link the North and South Poles and relayed the first pole-to-pole phone call. TDRS-1 also transmitted the first internet connection and live webcast from the North Pole and supported the first global television event from the South Pole Station - a worldwide television broadcast to commemorate the beginning of the year 2000.       On 13 June 2010, the satellite arrived at its final destination, approximately 36,000 kilometres above the Earth. After the orbit is stabilized and the remaining fuel removed, NASA will shut down the satellite on 27 June.  Source: Jonathan McDowell's Master List ; Mark Wade’s Encyclopedia Astronautica ; National Space Science Data Center's ; TRW Space Log ; NASA News Release 10-151 (25 Jun 2010) ;

Type: Communications (radio-amateur) Sponsor: AMSAT / Amateur Satellite Corporation Launch: 16 June 1983 at 11h59 UTC, from Kourou Space Center's ELA-1, by an Ariane 1 (L6). Orbit: 3,997 km x 35,449 km x 27° x 11h39 (Molniya-type orbit) Decayed: Mission: AMSAT-OSCAR 10 was the first amateur satellite with onboard propulsion (which did not function entirely correctly, due to collision with part of the launch vehicle after separation - hence the not-quite-Molniya-type orbit). Weight: 90 kg plus fuel  On December 1986, the main computer failed due to radiation damage. Thus, the ability to control the spacecraft was lost.
