Sixty years ago this month, in October 1945, the magazine
Wireless World published an article by a relatively unknown
writer and rocket enthusiast. Its title was: ‘Extra-Terrestrial
Relays: Can Rocket Stations Give World Wide Radio Coverage?’

Today, the author’s name is known throughout the world. He is
the science fiction writer Arthur C Clarke, and his prediction of
satellite communications has come true in ways even he never
imagined. To mark the anniversary, Heather Couper travels to Sir
Arthur’s home in Sri Lanka to hear his own story.
