Show detail Hide detail

Television program hosted by Lloyd Robertson on the world's first domestic commercial communications satellite, Anik A-1. Archival footage of major world achievements in space as well as developments in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's technology, supported by narrative from Robertson and George Rich, provides the historical context for Anik. Recent footage of Canadian companies building satellite components; Inuit students touring Telesat Canada user companies; a statement by Alphonse Ouimet, Chairman of the Board of Telesat Canada; and interviews with recipients of the satellite feed in northern communities, illustrate Canada's participation in this achievement in world technology. Noteworthy footage of the actual satellite launch, in November 1972, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration base at Cape Kennedy, Archival footage includes: Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space (1961); American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first person on the moon (1969); Max Ferguson introducing the CBC's cross-Canada television network; and royal and state occasions, including the 1969 investiture of Prince Charles in the first live television colour broadcast to North America.
