  Vanguard 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vanguard 1 is the oldest artificial satellite still orbiting the earth, though there is no longer any communication with it.
Vanguard also carries two thermistors which measured the interior temperature over 16 days in order to track the effectiveness of the thermal protection.
Because of its symmetrical shape, Vanguard 1 was selected by the experimenters for use in determining upper atmospheric densities as a function of altitude, latitude, season, and solar activity.

 Project Vanguard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1.4 kg spherical Vanguard satellites (designated "Test Vehicles" prior to launch) were built at the NRL, 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.
TV-4 achieved a stable orbit with an apogee of 3,969 km (2466 miles) and a perigee of 650 km (404 miles) ; it was estimated that it would remain in orbit for 240 years, and Vanguard 1 remains the oldest human-made satellite still in orbit at this time.
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.

Vanguard I achieved the highest altitude of any man-made vehicle to that time and established beyond doubt geologists' suspicions that Earth is pear shaped.
Vanguard II, launched on February 17, 1959, was the first satellite designed to observe and record the cloud cover of the earth.
Vanguard II was also the first full-scale Vanguard (20-inch diameter sphere, 21 pounds) to be launched, and it is also still in orbit.

 Vanguard 1
Vanguard 1 was a small earth-orbiting satellite designed to test the launch capabilities of a three-stage launch vehicle and the effects of the environment on a satellite and its systems in Earth orbit.
It also was used to obtain geodetic[?] measurements through orbit analysis.
The solar powered transmitter operated until May 1964 (when the last signals were received in Quito, Ecuador) after which the spacecraft was optically tracked from Earth.

 Vanguard 1
Vanguard Test Vehicle (TV-1), a modified Martin Viking first-stage and Vanguard solid-propellant third-stage Grand Central Rocket as second-stage, launched with instrumented nose cone to an altitude of 121 miles and met all test objectives.
Vanguard I provided much useful data on orbits, including the slight pear-shape of the Earth and the effect of solar pressure.
Vanguard also provided the second stage for the Able, Delta, and Able-Star, as well as the third stage of Scout, pioneering solid-propellant stages used in Polaris and Minuteman.

Vanguard was the first U.S. rocket designed for the specific purpose of launching satellites, and represented the first program on Cape Canaveral that was not tied to a weapons system.
Since the IGY extended through the end of 1958 and a firm decision in support of Vanguard was made in 1955, it was believed that there was plenty of time for Vanguard to prove itself before attempting the launch of a satellite.

Thus, by moving to Vanguard which generally has "expenses" well under 1% their costs should go down by 1% and thus their overall performance should improve by 1% a year.
While the Vanguard family of funds does have the lowest expenses, the overall reported expenses for the Fidelity family are not 1% higher, but more like ~0.5% higher (specifically, domestic stock 0.68% vs 0.22, international stock 1.09% vs. 0.33, municipal bonds 0.46% vs. 0.11 and taxable bonds 0.65% vs. 0.17).
