Clarke Belt
The geostationary orbit, named after Arthur C. Clarke, who first described in detail how such an orbit could be used for global communications in an article titled "Extra-Terrestrial Relays – Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?," published in Wireless World in October 1945. Clarke said that many people would consider his concept "too far-fetched to be taken seriously."
