Telstar was lunched July 10. The TV production was July 12.

Henry Jaffe produced the Telstar Closed-Circuit production in  1962. One of 
my clients handed me a stack of correspondence a while back  concering the 
planning and execution of this telecast. From one of the charts,  it appears 
that two VR-1000C's were at Andover. I''ll post more here or on the  DC 
Video FB site when I get a chance.  

In the mean time, here is one of two photos from this collection (no, I  
did not see an VR-1000 C shots):

One partial chart:

It Is TELSTAR DAY!!!!! 
July 10, 1962.  This date marks the launch of Telstar 1, the first 
communications satellite  capable of relaying television signals from Europe to 
North  America!
Yes  on this VERY day long ago our childhood TELSTAR I was launched.... and 
so  was my fascination with Sat Com- 
For those of you Non-space science folk  this is sure to be a memory though 
... and a great song by Joe Meek of UK  but a hit indeed for the VENTURES 
(60s music buddies can add to this ) 
John R. Pierce of Bell Labs fame was the father of TELSTAR, and later  in 
my life to become a great friend and of mine and a friend to the SMECC  
museum project. In addition A.C. Dickieson, the project manager for TELSTAR,  
ended up retiring in Sun City here and I got to know him as well. Add to  that 
James Early who did device development for the Telstar Project another  
great mind and a great friend...Unfortunately all have passed on many years  
ago.....add to that Eugene O'Neill and other... and look below in comments  and 
you will see some other articles about TELSTAR by some people I was  happy 
to call my friends... I miss them all but thankful to have had the  time I 
did with them. ok lets listen to the TELSTAR song by the  Ventures....

Enjoy the walk down memory lane.... Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC
