Sputnik 1 postcard

Sputnik 1 postcard. Artwork of Sputnik 1, the worlds first artificial satellite, on a postcard issued by the communist government of the former Soviet Union. Sputnik 1 was launched on October 4th, 1957. The name Sputnik is Russian for travel companion or satellite. The body was a highly polished aluminium alloy sphere which measured 58 centimetres in diameter and weighed 83.5 kilograms. It also had four long antennas attached. Sputnik 1 transmitted radio signals back to earth for a period of 21 days. The success of Sputnik 1 prompted the US government to enter the Space Race with the launch of Explorer-1 four months later
