On October 4, 1957, at 07:28PM GMT, the Soviet Union successfully lunched SPUTNIK-1. The world's
first man-made artificial satellite.
Sputnik-1 was about the size of basketball, weighed only 84 kilogram, sphere about 0.6 meters in diameter.
It tooks about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path. Sputnik-1 enters orbit, opened the Space Age.
Here is the file
with recorded sound from SPUTNIK-1.
More technical details about Sputnik-1 you may find on the Web Page of RussianSpaceWeb.Com
To commemorate this fact a special event station 3Z50SPU was established by Polish ham radio operator Roman Hennig SQ2RH. That event station was on the air for a month starting on the 4th of October 2007. A special QSL card (as above) will be available after the event for all HAMs and SWLs who made QSOs/SWLs with a special event station 3Z50SPU. You are welcome.
