This satellite is the communications satellite LES-1. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States launched several such communications satellites, from LES-1 to LES-9, which were relatively small, weighing only about 32 kg, each with a horn antenna and an x-band transponder, as well as a 237 MHz signal transmitter, which were powered mainly by solar panels

Why Have No Advanced Civilizations Visited Earth? Perhaps In Their Eyes, Humans Are Just Ants
Intelligent life is rare in the universe, or perhaps it is just wishful thinking on our part. As mentioned earlier, just in the galaxy, there are hundreds of millions of planets that have the natural conditions to nurture life, so a reasonable speculation is that life has evolved on many planets, and even a number of planets have evolved intelligent life.

Mysterious Circles Have Appeared In The Universe And Scientists Don't Know How To Explain It... Is It The Emergence Of An Advanced Civilisation?
Whichever way you look at it, humans cannot be the only intelligent creatures in the universe. As far as we know, the universe has existed for at least tens of billions of years, so a reasonable speculation is that there is probably an advanced civilization in the universe that is hundreds of millions or even billions of years ahead of humans, and if that is the case, their level of technology is something that we humans simply cannot imagine.

Voyager 1 Has Flown 22.8 Billion Kilometres Away, How Did It Manage To Send Its Signal Back To Earth?
The universe is so big, but man's range is so small that the furthest man has been so far is the moon, which is only 380,000 km away from earth on average. Of course, humans have also launched all kinds of probes, and if you include them, the range of human activities is much larger.
