Is it a coincidence? Why did the satellite pick up the signal again after years of being "lost"?

Previously launched a satellite, was launched more than forty years ago, to now also lost for more than forty years, just two years ago, suddenly transmitted a data signal biologists received this should be very incredible let people happy, according to the biologist's research found, but not happy at all can not afford.

LES-1 satellite

The following is about the first U.S. satellite into orbit LES-1 was launched into orbit in 1965.

The most violent situation of the U.S.-Soviet rivalry coincided with the launch of the LES-1 satellite. The U.S. was driven by the production and manufacture of satellites in the former Soviet Union. The former Soviet Union had already led the United States in all fields of human satellites, both technically and technologically, and the United States, to better surpass the former Soviet Union's technicality, undoubtedly thought of all implementable ways to catch up with the former Soviet Union. There is also a reason the United States of America's synthetic satellite was more hurriedly launched.

In 1958, a nuclear warhead exploded in China's Pacific Experimental Range, which happened to be a U.S. experiment. Since this nuclear warhead was not sound enough to prevent the power of this bomb and had little cognitive ability, the troposphere was destroyed, causing common failures of information management systems in a large part of the surrounding area, and the U.S. made a way to save it by launching a synthetic satellite in 1965.

LES-1 became the name of this satellite and was launched at Cape Canaveral to better save the troposphere from destruction.

Because of the hasty launch, no comprehensive inspection was carried out and there were some areas or problems with the wiring, which were not detected before.

After the launch, it was because of this problem that it did not succeed in reaching orbit and the predicted overall goal was not achieved. The satellite was declared abandoned by the U.S. in 1966, and the LES-1 satellite was lost and inoperative, orbiting the Earth as tightly as space junk until 2013.

This satellite can actually "come back from the dead" more than 40 years later

The stage of rapid development of synthetic satellites was the 1950s, and the number of satellites in orbit continued to increase, working normally according to people's instructions. Lost LES-1 satellite, has long been no longer all use value to people, has long faded in the people of this world, no one to still remember.

Just at this time, to people's surprise, according to wireless communication found this satellite data signal although not quite clear, according to the comparison, has its differences. This data signal sent to the Internet caused a lot of attention and was finally explored out to be the data signal of the lost LES-1 satellite for more than 40 years.

It took three years for the photographer to discover the LES-1 satellite pushing data signals to the Earth, and the satellite that had been lost for so long happened.

The reason why LES-1 signal again

The lost satellite is like waste, with no application of all the value of use, the satellite is a variety of machinery and equipment that will be turned off, not easy to re-transmit data signals, and it is reduced to space junk.

Likely, some of the satellite's procedural processes are again exciting words Biologists feel that the solar power panels in the satellite can over receive the amount of solar radiation, after so long still works, when the sun shines directly on the solar power panels, as charged, it can transmit data signals.

What are the experts worried about?

After a long time people have launched more and more satellites into space but they cannot work to retrieve, the life of the satellite is certain, after reaching the goal is still operating in orbit, plus the majority of satellites are not launched into orbit, the majority of satellites are operating in orbit, in that area will become more and more congested, space junk is also increasing, the retrieval technology is not perfect.

If it falls into the Earth's atmosphere, it is likely to be ignited, and if it falls into a key area of population, the adverse effects will be unpredictable. If there is a more practical value in the satellite launch the whole process, is likely to be a lot of space junk hazard. Today more and more space junk can not be retrieved, which is a key concern of biologists.
