Happy fiftieth Sputnik! - Spaceuropeans

On October 4, 1957, a metal sphere at least two feet became the first artificial satellite of the planet Earth. You can see a model of this area, called Sputnik 1, in the picture below (photo NASA).

It was a great success for the Soviet Union and a blow for the United States. They hastily tried to retaliate by launching its Vanguard satellite, which, however, weighed less than two kilograms while Sputnik was over eighty.Anyway, the TV show that followed the failure did not help, also because at that time the Soviets had launched Sputnik 2, weighing about 500 kilograms and sending poor dog Laika to a sad death in space.

The rest is history. The Americans responded and founded NASA, and actually surpassed the Soviets during the next decade and win the race to the moon. Can other countries joined space exploration, particularly in Europe, China, India and Japan.

And it all started with Sputnik 1 small ... including this blog, the last by-product.

How do you build a model of a satellite for a school project?

Feb 07, 3691 by Jellybean | Posted in Homework Help

My daughter has to build one and no-one in the family is artistic or creative. She is 11yrs old. My sister suggested a ball with 3 legs based on the first Sputniks.
Thanks Dixie, I never thought of that at all but it has to be in soon but they are not getting judged until the week before Christmas. A tin foil ball might do instead. Thanks for the idea.

Get a pumpkin or melon and some kebab skewers and cardboard.

Cut the cardboard up into squares and circles stick them onto the skewers and stick the skewers into the pumpkin or melon

Join the Blue Peter Club!

So why not an orange or yelow satellite?

    I shot this in the spring with my circa 1900 Kodak Pocket Model 3A. This camera originally shot 122 film, which produces a huge, postcard-sized image. In fact, 122 film was post card film -- you could write on it and mail it.

    For these shots, I just respooled modern 120...
