What was size of sputnik 1 satellite?
Not sure what you're asking... technically Sputnik was a part of the Russian space program (like Apollo was part of the U.S. space program). Sputnik in Russian literally means "co-traveler" or "satellite".The program started in 1957 with Sputnik 1 (about 23 inches in diameter, weighing in at about 183 lbs). Sputnik 2was a 13' by 6.6' cone shaped capsule, large enough to carry the first living animal in space (a dog named Laika). Sputnik 3was a slightly smaller cone (11.7' x 5.6').
