	Sputnik III
		Sputnik 3 was a Soviet satellite launched on May 15 1958 from Baikonur cosmodrome by a modified R-7/SS-6 ICBM.
		Sputnik 3 was planned to be that first satellite launched by the Soviet Union.
		The Sputnik 3 completion date kept slipping and Sergi Korolev substituted the relatively simple Sputnik 1 as the first satellite to be launched, instead.

		Sputnik 2 was the second spacecraft launched into Earth orbit, at 19:12:00 on November 3, 1957, and was the first spacecraft to carry biological material.
		Sputnik 2 was launched on an essentially unmodified R-7 ICBM, similar to that used for Sputnik 1, to a 212 x 1660 km orbit with a period of 103.7 minutes.
		Sputnik II was not able to detect the Van Allen radiation belts as it traveled far enough to the north such that it was under most of the radiation belt while it was monitorable from the USSR.

	What is Sputnik?
		Sputnik was an unmanned Soviet satellite that orbited the earth on 4 October 1957.
		The "beep, beep" of the Sputnik added greatly to the fear of nuclear war and created a response in America that bordered on panic.
		Sputnik III was launched in May 1958 and weighed almost 1400 kilograms (3000 pounds); it orbited for about two years and provided a wealth of information about the earth.

		Soviet Sputnik 3 is in the form of a cone 1.73 metres (5 feet 8 inches) in diameter at the base and 3.57 metres (11 feet 7 inches) in height, excluding the protruding antennae.
		Observations of the sputnik, registration of the scientific data and the measurement of the co-ordinates of its trajectory are being carried out by specially organised stations equipped with great quantities of radiotechnical and optical instruments.
		Soviet Sputnik 3 - a new stage in the extensive research of the upper layers of the atmosphere and in the study of cosmic space - is a major contribution by Soviet scientists to world science.

		To military strategists, Sputnik was confirmation that the intercontinental ballistic missile had surpassed the strategic bomber as the weapon of the future.
		Sputnik was only in orbit for three weeks, but those who tracked it gained valuable information about the destiny of the upper atmosphere and the manner in which it altered the satellite's orbit.
		Although the Sputnik I launch is widely believed to have signaled the start of the space race, some space policy historians do not believe that the real competition actually started until seven years later.

		Sputnik I, meaning “fellow traveler” in Russian, was a sphere with a diameter of 2 feet weighing 184 pounds.
		Sputnik II was propelled off of the earth using an ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile).

		Sputnik III was in a rather eccentric orbit, so that at times it passed over us above the region of maximum ionization, and at times below.
		So, when it became clear to us from the data that Sputnik III would decay from orbit with no replacement in sight, we thought that extraordinary measures were called for.
		We were especially anxious to continue our studies of the nighttime scintillation, observed during the earliest days of Sputnik I, and to delineate the boundaries of the regions where it occurred.

		Sputnik I, meaning “fellow traveler” in Russian, was a sphere with a diameter of 2 feet weighing 184 pounds.
		Sputnik III was launched on 18 September 1958, gaining the respect of the United States for its vast size and technological improvements.
		It weighed almost 3,000 pounds and the basic structure was similar to that of Sputnik I. It was used purely for discovery, as opposed to Sputnik II's quest for life-supporting capabilities.

		Although the instruments in Explorer III were working fairly well and its tape recorder and storage mechanism were enabling Minitrack and microlock stations by interrogation to receive about eighty percent of the telemetered signals, the results were as puzzling as and largely duplicated those from 1958 Alpha.
		Although American experts early realized that the first Sputniks might well have detected the existence of this phenomenon, had the Russians launched them at a higher angle of elevation to the earth, the American feat was none the less gratifying to the National Academy and the American public.
		Equipped with the Allegany Ballistic Laboratory's third-stage rocket with a fiberglass casing and nosecone, Vanguard III rose with a fifty-six pound payload, a weight made possible by the lightness of the fiberglass and by leaving the casing attached to the satellite during orbital flight instead of using a separation device.

		Eisenhower's greatest error in the Sputnik crisis was his failure to appreciate the psychological dimension of launching the first satellite.
		Many saw Sputnik as confirmation that the Soviets had an operational intercontinental ballistic missile, a feat the U.S., supposedly the technological leader of the world, could not yet match.(26) The Administration's efforts to quell fears immediately backfired.
		Successful launching of the 3000-lb Soviet Sputnik III should dispel most of the wishful thinking that has hung over the U.S. space policy since the fiery plunge of Sputnik II into the Caribbean [on April 14].

		By October 1958, the Soviet Union and the United States were locked in the intense initial throes of the space race, each nation rushing frantically to put a man into Earth orbit first.
		Before it left the ground on Oct. 8, 1958, the Manhigh III flight had already been scrubbed twice: on Oct. 1 because of bad weather, and on Oct. 6 when a fierce gust of wind slammed a balloon into the ground, shattering it into a thousand plastic shards.
		A test pilot and amateur astronomer, Demi McClure–nicknamed, the story goes, by the doctor who delivered him on Nov. 8, 1932, the day FDR was elected to his first term, succeeding three consecutive Republican presidents–joined the Air Force in 1955 after earning a master’s in engineering at Clemson University.

		Sputnik was there for all to see and hear, and its name became a part of the language of all civilized men.
		Well before Sputnik we had initiated programs designed to use our largest military rockets for launching military satellites (the names Samos and Midas will be recalled by early space-program watchers), but we had specifically ordered that the scientific IGY satellite program not be allowed to interfere with any of our military programs.
		Sputnik did reveal a space gap, but the real space gap was quite different from the apparent one.

		However, Sputnik III was put into orbit on May 15, 1958, and the space race, though not Officially acknowledged, became nevertheless a matter of pressing reality.

	JAVA - Satellite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Following the Soviet's successful flights of the first earth satellite Sputnik I and then Sputnik II, the Army's rocket vehicle Jupiter C was adopted as a U.S. alternative to the planned but faltering Vanguard vehicle for placing an early U.S. payload into earth orbit.
		The data from the single Geiger-Mueller tube on Explorer I (as the payload was called) yielded the discovery of the radiation belt of the earth -- a huge region of space populated by energetic charged particles (principally electrons and protons), trapped within the external geomagnetic field.
		The attempted launch of Explorer II was a vehicular failure, but the launch of Explorer III on 26 March 1958, with an augmented version of the Iowa instrument, was successful.
