This satellite is the communications satellite LES-1. In the 1960s and 1970s, the United States launched several such communications satellites, from LES-1 to LES-9, which were relatively small, weighing only about 32 kg, each with a horn antenna and an x-band transponder, as well as a 237 MHz signal transmitter, which were powered mainly by solar panels

The universe is so big, but man's range is so small that the furthest man has been so far is the moon, which is only 380,000 km away from earth on average. Of course, humans have also launched all kinds of probes, and if you include them, the range of human activities is much larger.
