'''Galaxy IV''' was one of [[Earth]]'s artificial communications [[satellite]]s | '''Galaxy IV''' was one of [[Earth]]'s artificial communications [[satellite]]s in the [[1990s]]. When the satellite failed on [[19 May]] [[1998]], it crippled the [[US]] [[pager]] networks, several broadcast news services, and even some [[credit card]] verification. [[Doctor]]s, who relied on pagers for their work, were therefore forced to remain in [[hospital]]s at all times in order to be in contact.
