My next addition to space technology is the first artificial Earth satellite. When I recently glued together the Magion 1 satellite, I thought it would be nice to look at the very beginning of spaceflight and glue together the first satellites launched by mankind. and what else to start with than Sputnik 1. So ladies and gentlemen, this is how it started
:
The Sputnik program was a Soviet space program that began in the late 1950s to demonstrate the use of unmanned Earth artificial satellites (Russian: cпутник). As part of the space race between the great powers of the USA and the USSR, the Soviets decided to speed up the existing programs and launch into orbit the simplest possible satellite weighing up to 100 kg. In the early stages of design, it was designated as Sputnik
It was constructed in the late 1950s by Sergei Koroľov in the Soviet Union. It was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh SSR on October 4, 1957 at 19:28:34 UTC using a modified two-stage R-7 launch vehicle, which was modified from the military version for cosmonautics and renamed the Sputnik rocket. It belongs to the category of scientific satellites. Sputnik contained a transmitter that broadcast a beeping signal on frequencies of 20.005 and 40.002 MHz from October 4 to October 25, 1957. this signal in its time became a symbol of the beginning of the cosmic era. The transmitted signal made it possible for the first time to check the distortion during transmission from orbit, thus also the properties of the atmosphere and ionosphere. The satellite orbited the Earth until January 4, 1958, when after 1,440 orbits it entered the Earth's atmosphere and burned up. (source. wikipedia.org)
The description of the construction of the model was published in the magazine ABC, I actually only took from it that I used a ping-pong ball, the central strip and the length of the antennas. I finished the other things myself according to the photos I found on the internet. I sprayed the model with a base color, corrected the mistakes and finally sprayed it with chrome paint. The model received a standard stand (like Venera and Prognoz) with the name and year of launch, and since I am planning more satellites, I will also put the flag of the country that launched the given satellite, a few photos:
