The Etam station, built in 1968, became the world’s busiest facility for handling satellite telecommunications traffic by the mid-1970s.
When a new series of geosynchronous satellites began orbiting the Earth in the late ’70s, making the Etam station even busier, COMSAT sought permission from the Federal Communications Commission to build a new earth station at Lenox to reduce service outages due to severe weather.
