I hint about the only person around it doesn't have TV coverage of the things
that man got the black up now you're gonna be getting a TV picture now
they'll yes we are getting a TV picture
one all
yeah
all units stand by violence tax preliminary stage on the main stage
liftoff on october four slides and 57 a 1028 the a moscow time the successful
launch happened accepted 295 seconds later both the satellite and the Rockets
five-and-a-half town central unit replaced until the elliptic orbit which
is the most distant . from us in its Apogee it is 947 kilometres and the
nearest spot in its perigee that is 280 kilometres the satellite separation took
place 319 seconds after the start and then the satellite started signaling
soon thousands of radio stations around the world started getting unusual
signals from space at the same time a small moving star appeared in the sky it
was the first time in human history that an object made by man managed to
overcome the force of gravity
that radio signals symbolize the beginning of a new era the space era .
they own personal opinion that we're transmitting an important message from
tasks on october force 1957 Soviet Union successfully launched the world's first
artificial earth satellite really what yellow but you don't touch that it is
that was exactly what i had the honor to say then on-air you are not so crowded
television audience at what you do when I had been working only for a week as a
news at your gym legacy system tzm don't those times were harsh the Cold War it
was just about to start
that was also the time when the design of Soviet Rockets sega off started
working on the project of his lifetime
it was the construction of the r7 missile which was destined to become the
core of the Soviet agenda of peaceful space exploration
however the top back then focused on a new war
the squeakquel slowed in the complicated terms of the current political situation
that was not just about building a new engines and it wasn't all about building
a rocket engines also it was about building politics the Rockets were
considered only for the nuclear weapons that was why they research conducted by
the designer mykelti hunter Robert calculated the possibility to create and
put into orbit and artificial satellite was even white it was curry off who took
those for granted it was putting it mildly everyone was mocking cancer
thought he was just a dreamer
let's say gave her off didn't think so she was totally fine with these ideas
right from the start it was nineteen forty-seven when sega raised the
question of creating rockets for scientific purposes at a meeting with
styling first goal style in decided finally you're creating the r2 rocket
and designing the r3 forget about the rest
in may of nineteen fifty-four style is that trigger changes so curl of
sentimental post regarding an artificial satellite to the central committee of
the communist party of the soviet union the answer didn't change it didn't care
much for scientific matters in the crumbling but it all changed in July
mansion 55
US President Dwight Eisenhower sad the United States is planning to launch the
first artificial moon in two years
this is how Americans named their satellite the message from abroad was
taken as a challenge and so on august thirties of 95 the special committee for
the Soviet earth satellite program development was set up a human with a
woman for why is it because that information or abroad through there were
people sleepless and restless to be the first to do something it to everyone
realized the back down with the importance of pioneering that area
status of witty so growing up immediately started working on this
project the second light was planned to a one-and-a-half dance and the technical
equipment was calculated to way from 200 to 300 kilos motherboard that Bob got a
third fellow you need to think first about the appropriate usage of rocket
future they're not only the missile to destroy something with the refrig
message the bear was the other North board but also as a meaningful filling
the dream of space traveling mistborn you put your faith
Robert Lucas know there was a satellite on the ISS that we're planning to launch
during a spacewalk pretty wicked authentic we do this launches from time
to time to better perform scientific tasks that you share the size of such a
satellite might be compared to the first artificial satellite speakers as many
its diameter is 53 centimeters diameter is that was in the very first satellite
was 58 centimeters across the end it will be just had with him said to the
other girls crystals but you also had four antennas that was spreading Cygnus
those signals were man for the space stations dancing
the satellite was assembled in less than a month and it wait 84 close
it's called names ps1 or elemental satellite one it had to radio
transmitters for various references the size of railways were supposed to be
monitored at the baikonur to tell the temperature and the pressure inside the
device still there were other purposes 200 movement or forward it was a range
so that an amateur radio operator in the world would receive the signal from that
satellite is coming up as own you even lift the worst of the fuck it was
exactly to provide a wider recognition of the satellite not only in scientific
field world why to just record there was only one thing left they needed to
launch it into space especially because on august twenty-first ninety-two seven
the long-expected launch of the r-7 rocket happened after it had failed
three times before that the rocket flew almost 6,000 kilometres and then fell
down somewhere in the contractor region see your protein your own the earth the
control system is absolutely unique at the party this scheme of a stationary
start was proposed by sigue curl for the first time the modernists thought
everything on the r7 was different it was all new the rocket was flawless but
the generals insisted it was necessary to send a bomb into space a trial launch
with a nuclear warhead replica onboard revealed an issue nobody had ever been
expecting where we get to get pretty those warheads that carrot thermonuclear
bombs destroyed when they were really entering the atmosphere little trouble
and we couldn't figure out what we needed to work on your children
two brand-new r7 rockets were ready to launch but there were no bombs ready for
that girl also a rare opportunity to launch the satellite early learning
about bit earlier but government we needed a break to create develop and
presenting you what happened here we go over church where the better so
choreographer use that time to ask to take those rockets to launch the first
artificial satellite or work with 14 consumer e the satellite was delivered
to Baikonur the test pilots got to work the armed missile was about to become a
peaceful karaoke the launch was scheduled for october six but girl
suddenly moved the date there was information about the Americans also
planning their own satellite launched on the global 6000 there was opposed to my
dad would be really launched it one day leader to become the second-best so we
went to say geekery up with that information also ordered he looked at us
and called the DMV figure we're sure is your else already asked if they knew
that Americans were planning to launch their own satellite on that day you were
into that what they gave him a very compelling answer is yes that store
America we don't know anything about your double spoon committed in federal
the second parameter is just what we don't know if they're not planning to
launch on that it would get a recurring of decided to shorten the preparation
time what they took some absolute technical risks have the launch on the
force finished
that's why those times were intense it was all about who would be the first too
long
autumn days at the baikonur are always sunny the Sun was shining bright on
those final days before the launch it was more than half a century go ready in
15 minutes matters and beauty leave the launch inside
october force 9270 1028 p.m. moscow time it was the moment when the r-7 rocket
with a satellite on board last golf
Michelle impossible for you to know this course mr. know at first we'll listen to
space signals but one satellite went west and left radiofrequency we stopped
getting and signals at all you had to wait for half an hour to start getting
them again move solution into some recent durability of them going to
construct a total failure is ascii the chief designer of that Institute was
there with us immediately dial that inductor phone and ask for current off
today i can graduate you and he had tears in his eyes
soon after that they could see the telling me during data the first
artificial satellite began moving along the first orbit on its on Norman would
really go well we raised our hats to see the flying spot
what then and only then did we perhaps realize that just some moments ago that
satellite was at launch inside under the fairing for the curriculum where you're
a Bordeaux and i was working at the instrumental module myself so I was
really close to it would look good
yes it was only then that we suddenly realized something huge and great have
happened
the launch made a resounding splash all across the world people on different
continents were leaving the houses to look at the sky and see the one start
moving among others that remains still it's human
the first people in the united states will manage to catch the satellite
signals happen to be random amateurs and not military man back then the New York
Times stated that ninety percent of talks regarding artificial satellites
were happening in America as it turned out one hundred percent of Deeds
actually happened in Russia the announcer in a newsreel said it was the
moon getting to know new things
learning the alphabet sport Indyk Sputnik
the Russian word Sputnik flew around the world to become known everywhere and we
used not only as a technical term but also as a cultural phenomenon there when
your drinks and east european bars there when you're rockin all styles in dancing
and even new model haircuts created by barbers best fitness love you . the
recent japanese fashion style is new hair designs like a and Sputnik the
first satellite stayed there in orbit for 92 days by the time it was burned
down re-entering the atmosphere there was the second sort of device flying
around haha careful here we're all ready for the start
got it
let's go if you're ready
and here goes another satellite again it is almost like the one that got into
space 55 years ago on october force 1957 and open the space for the people of the
planet purse it started really nice it's great
well done it's beautiful here and there is the Sun did you take it right
yeah
I history but the only person around it doesn't have TV coverage of the face it
man you got the black up now you're gonna be getting a TV picture mail yet
we are going
baby pictures
that's one all
