Promoting upcoming IEEE Milestone Project Echo\, T elstar\, and discovery of cosmic background radiation\, evidence of the Bi g Bang Theory of the origin of the Universe. Kick off for the Horn Antenna Science\, Technology\, Educational and Cultural Initiative and Preservati on Center.\n\nThere is no single event more transformative in the second h alf of the twentieth century than the discovery of the cosmic background r adiation\, verifying the Big Bang Theory\, which described the formation o f the Universe. Behind that discovery is a unique horn-antenna constructed on Crawford Hill at Holmdel New Jersey.\n\nThe sophisticated functionalit y of the Horn Antenna was designed and developed in phases by both commerc ial and US government entities\, resulting in a sensitive antenna capable of detecting cosmic background radiation\, which was interpreted as the si gnature of the Big Bang. First Project Echo (1959 – 1961) constructed a long-distance wireless communication system which included a novel trackin g horn-reflector antenna\, a maser preamplifier\, and an FM (Frequency Mod ulated) demodulator. This low noise receiver was the first to provide a hi gh-quality long distance voice circuit via the Echo 1 passive satellite.\n \nThe system capabilities were later expanded (1962 – 1963) with transmi ssions to the Telstar active satellite made possible by the invention of t he solar cell.
