67 years ago, on October 4, 1957, a new era began — the space age.
The satellite, which became the first artificial celestial body, was launched into orbit by the R-7 launch vehicle from the 5th scientific research range of the USSR Ministry of Defense, which later received the open name Baikonur Cosmodrome.
The PS-1 spacecraft (the simplest Sputnik-1) was a ball with a diameter of 58 centimeters, weighed 83.6 kg, and was equipped with four antennas for transmitting signals powered by transmitter batteries.
The PS-1 satellite flew for 92 days, until January 4, 1958, making 1,440 revolutions around the Earth (about 60 million km), and its radio transmitters worked for two weeks after launch.
It was a great victory for man, which became a turning point in the history of civilization.3.5 years will pass before the flight of the first man into space (April 12, 1961) Яндекс — поиск по видео - https://yandex.ru/video/touch/preview/17540493770653292490 Яндекс — поиск по видео - https://yandex.ru/video/touch/preview/3172164901627712608
