Sputnik

The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth.

Sputnik was a very simple satellite. It emitted a radio signal that was received by Russia radio observers on the ground. This pinpointed its speed, altitude, and elliptical path. Spudnik was in a very low orbit however, and after a few months it reentered the earth's atmosphere and was destroyed.

The sputnik was a satellite that produced signals so that we could receive and extract information via web and radio. So the next time we use the internet or turn on the radio, we should remember THE SPUTNIK.

No. Nobody wanted to go because there was never any plan to bring it back.

So they barbarically slaughtered a dog instead, and televised the whole thing.

The purpose was to demonstrate how technologically advanced the USSR was.

If there were any civilized people who saw it, it also showed them what kind of

monsters were responsible for the spectacle.

PS: The Russian space program is the only way we have of getting people and

supplies to and from the International Space Station today.

Laika the space dog, of Sputnik II died November 3, 1957, most likely due to overheating as a result of a malfunctioning heater in her capsule.

The Explorer but it wasnt a rocket, it was a satellite

Its not on Nintendo ds and sputnik makes your melee attacks better and your grenades more powerful so you can do higher grenade jumps, It alters things mass.

The first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was a Soviet satellite named Sputnik I. It was launched by the USSR on October 4, 1957, followed by Sputnik 2 in November.

Sputnik was a family name for a series of satellites, most of which burned up during reentry after some time in orbit.

It won't be. Sputnik reentered the atmosphere and burned up on January 4, 1958 after three months in orbit.

Sputnik wasn't a space shuttle, but a series of early satellites launched by the then Soviet Union. Being one-shot items, they were retired as soon as their missions were over.

To demonstrate Soviet superiority in rocket booster power and navigational precision ...

making it easier for them to plant a nuclear device on the territory of other countries.

answer or nawh?

The Explorer 1 was launched on January 31,1958 one year after the Sputnik 1,and Sputnik 11

When Russia launched Sputnik it frightened and shocked other countries because Russia had led the way. As a result the American government spend millions of dollars to ensure that it outranked Russia technologically and the result was what we know as the internet today.

Sputnik had an elliptical orbit. At it farthest distance from the surface of Earth it was 583 miles. At the nearest to the surface it was 134 miles.

sure. there no problem int when it launch

The history of sputnik dates back to December 1954. It was developed as part of a larger picture for rocket technology. It was also put into development as the rest of the countries were also working on similar projects.

No.

Sputnik was the "family name" for a series of satellites, and none of them dropped bombs on Earth. Not out of restraint, but because they didn't have any to drop.

But the fear was that once someone had the technology to put things into orbit, then it'd be a small step to actually drop things from orbit as well.

I think it was a dog

The unique thing concerning the Sputnik 2 (compared to previous Sputnik 1 satellite) was the fact it carried the first living being into other space - a dog named Laika. "Laika" translates to English as "Barker".

Although the launch of Sputnik lead to the humiliation of America's scientific community and the public as a whole, it was more benificial to the United States than a negative effect. For one, there was the establishment of the Advanced Research Projects Agency in 1958 (which will become DARPA later on). There was the establishment of NASA in 1958, and thus space research was now in civilian hands rather than military. You had the National Defense Education Act of 1958, which increased the funds towards the education in the fields of science, math, and engineering by an insurmountable amount, as well as creating low-finance student loans. And finally you had the Apallo missions, which would not be possible without the technological determanism America had towards becoming the dominating figure in the fields of science and engineering, as well as beating the Soviet Union in the Space Race.

The effects of the Russian Sputnik being launched was that it caused a national panic throughout the US public and government. The Russian Sputnik was the first artificial satellite. What this caused throughout America was the greatly increased pace of scientific developments and scientific devices. The effects the Sputnik had upon the Russian public was that it caused a great amount of harassment of the US and a great deal of power now being held by the Russian government and military over the rest of the world including the USA.

lunch the space race???
