I wonder if the “Sputnik” poster was inspired by this “Alien” art print?

First human made object in the space!

🌌🌌🌌

Let's remember a model launched during a period when our space was almost unimaginable.

Sputnik 1 was launched on 4th october 1957. spherical metal with 58 cm (23 inches) in diameter with four external radio antennas to broadcast radio pulses. Its radio signal was easily detectable by radio and the 65° inclination and duration of its orbit made its flight path cover virtually the entire inhabited Earth.

The density of the upper atmosphere could be deduced from its drag on the orbit, and the propagation of its radio signals gave data about the ionosphere

We could test satellite pressurisation, to study radio wave transmission and the density of the atmosphere, and allowed scientists to learn how to track objects in orbit. It orbited Earth every 96 minutes. Also gave rise to space race and cold war.

The signals continued for 21 days until the transmitter batteries ran out on 26 October 1957. Sputnik burned up on 4 January 1958.

On Friday, 4 October 1957, the Soviets had orbited the world's first artificial satellite. Anyone who doubted its existence could walk into the backyard just after sunset and see it.
