THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 30, 1948 

* Very early space exploration talks 
* U.S. satellite idea  

Page 11 has a small and somewhat discrete one column heading:
"Armed Services Study 'Satellite Vehicle' Idea"

This is a very early mention on the possibility of the 1st U.S. satellite which did not happen for another 10 years with Explorer 1. Interesting report as Satellites are used in many facets of every day life today.
