Did it go to Talos IV and violate the only death penalty law of Starfleet?

Did you ever see the movie called Event Horizon? It was the scariest movie I ever saw, and it was the only movie I ever had to turn off because it was so scary. Check it out sometime

I don’t believe any of this for two simple reasons:

1. Battery life.
2. Orbit maintenance.

The Satellite has limited, non-regenerative resources. Not 50 years worth.

The batteries would have died from repeated use/recharging and the orbit would have decayed after having expended its limit fuel (probably pressurized gas), and bird would have de-orbited.

Looks like LES-1 was an early test of X Band technology. It is solar powered, weighs just 31 kilos and is in 1700 a mile high circular orbit. LES-8 and 9 used RTGs - nuclear generators and are still up in geostationary orbits.

As long as it doesn’t start broadcasting a certain Rick Astley song, I’m good.

When I turned on my TV last night and saw this I thought it was a rerun ... but no, apparently it's the original broadcast from 1967 .... :)

Sounds like a good plot for a Star Trek movie

An American satellite abandoned in 1967 suddenly came back online and began transmitting again for the first time in 50 years.

I've seen this movie. It doesn't end well.
