Hughes Aerospace Division Employment |
|
Hughes Aerospace Division (now part of Boeing Satellite Development Center) built the Syncom satellites for NASA in the early 1960s, at the dawn of the space communications era. Syncom is short for Synchronous communications, so named because it was the first operational satellite placed in a geosynchronous (aka geostationary) orbit. It was a big deal because its stationary positioning meant that not only was it constantly in view of earth-based communications stations, but earth-based antennas did not need to have expensive, sophisticated tracking systems to access the satellite. Once the Gold Rush had panned out (pun intended) in California, the booming aerospace industry was one of the largest attractions for the state. Hughes' advertisement in this 1965 issue of Electronics magazine targets circuit designers who were thinking of "high" in terms of getting a satellite high (22,336 miles) into outer space in geosynchronous orbit at a speed of 6,875 mph. Concurrently, California flower children (aka hippies) of the day were thinking of "high" in term of getting themselves high and spaced out by using speed. Hughes Aerospace Division Employment
Circuit Designers... is your appointment in space with Hughes? Today, Hughes is one of the nation's most active aerospace/electronics firms: Projects include: F-111 B Phoenix Guided Missile System, TOW Anti-Tank Missile, Surveyor Lunar Spacecraft, SYNCOM, Polaris, VATE, Hard Point Defense and others.
