"The further conquest of space will make it possible, for example, to create systems of satellites making daily revolutions around our planet at an altitude of some 40,000 kilometers, and to assure universal communications and the relaying of radio and television transmissions.

The great accuracy of movement of these satellites will provide a reliable basis for solving navigational problems"
