	Project Vanguard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Project Vanguard was the name of the United States program that was to have launched the first artificial satellite of the Earth.
		The 1.4 kg spherical Vanguard satellites (designated "Test Vehicles" prior to launch) were built at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, and contained as their payload seven mercury cell batteries in a hermetically sealed container, two tracking radio transmitters, a temperature sensitive crystal, and six clusters of solar cells on the surface of the sphere.
		Vanguard met 100 percent of its scientific objectives, providing a wealth of information on the size and shape of the Earth, air density, temperature ranges, and micrometeorite impact.
