NBC Broadcasting 1984 1st Launch Skypath Space Satellite Very Rare Desk Model. Up for sale is a very rare satellite desk award model. I happen to be at the estate of NBC executive vice president‘s house. His name was Bob Butler and what I’m told by the family in 1984 NBC launched the first type of this satellite. not sure what type of metal this is made out of , but it is it quite a one-of-a-kind model for the outer space collector can be picked up in person or shipped as you can see the measurements or shown in the photos, there are some minor surface scratches on the black bass, nothing major, and the plaque originally had his name on it but I guess somehow it came off over the years , Below is some more information.
Skypath is a system the NBC television network uses to distribute satellite programming to its affiliate stations.
Launched in January 1984, Skypath (whose lead developer was Richard Edmondson at NBC's New York Rockefeller Center offices) was the first such system of its kind. Its main hub consisted of East Coast, West Coast, and affiliate feeds located on the Ku band RCA Satcom K2 satellite, with one C-band transponder located on RCA's now-defunct Satcom 1R. It was conceived because of concerns that the breakup of AT&T would escalate long lines rates for sending programs across the country.[1] By 1987, the network fed 177 affiliate stations via Skypath.[1]: I.75
