While the sputnik was being taken out to its orbit, these aerials were folded back against the body of the rocket, but after the first two steps had fallen away the aerials turned out on their hinges, assuming the position shown in the famous photo.
The needed temperature on Sputnik I was ensured by regulating the heat resistance between the envelope and the equipment, through the forced circulation of the nitrogen in the satellite.
Two radio transmitters were installed in the sputnik, constantly emitting signals on frequencies of 20.007 and 40.002 megacycles (15 and 7.5 metre wavelengths respectively).

Sputnik 7 was the first Soviet attempt at launching a probe to explore Venus.
The launch payload consisted of an Earth orbiting launch platform (Tyazheliy Sputnik 4) and the Venera probe.
The fourth stage (a Zond rocket) was supposed to launch the Venera probe towards a landing on Venus after one Earth orbit, but ignition failed--probably due to a faulty timer--and the spacecraft remained in Earth orbit.

 Reflecting on Sputnik - Rutherford 1
The military and the politicians received the blame for Pearl Harbor, not educators; in the Sputnik instance, the finger of blame quickly and sternly pointed at the schools.
The point of this brief—and altogether inadequate—commentary is merely to emphasize that the Sputnik episode as it bears on science education cannot be understood well in isolation from the educational context in which it is embedded.
The same could have been said (but was not, for lack of time) in regard to the science context, for the growing importance of science and its applications (especially the changing relationship between science and government) has brought the question of the place of science in the schools to the forefront.

I did use the -10 dB pad on the Sputnik for the congas because the sharp attacks of strong drum hits were quite loud.

With the launch of Sputnik and the ensuing hysteria in the United States, people believed the United States to be twenty years behind the Russians in Science education.
In all actuality, the United States was not behind, in fact we could have put a satellite up before Sputnik, but were busy putting all the bells and whistles on our Explorer satellite.
In any event, it became politically expedient to pass such education legislation and so science education was the beneficiary of good legislation for the wrong reason.

Source: Historical Reference Collection, NASA History Division, NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C. On 4 October 1957 the Soviet Union launched the first earth orbiting satellite to support the scientific research effort undertaken by several nations during the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year.
The Soviets called the satellite "Sputnik" or "fellow traveler" and reported the achievement in a tersely worded press release issued by the official news agency, Tass, printed in the October 5, 1957, issue of Pravda.
Artificial earth satellites will pave the way to interplanetary travel and, apparently our contemporaries will witness how the freed and conscientious labor of the people of the new socialist society makes the most daring dreams of mankind a reality.
