 ... on the peaceful uses of outer space
by Soviet acting psrmanent representative Platon D. Morozov
on March 24. As briefly reported last week, the list covers 16
announced launchings, beginning with Sputnik 1, and confines
itself to the main spacecraft, omitting the rocket-stage fragments
and other associated objects which were included in the US list of
March 5.

 ...s by a review of the Russian pro-gramme already accomplished. At the time of writing, this comprises
seventeen major events. These events fall into two main phases. Phase Ibegan with the launching of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, and ended
with the success of the automatic interplanetary station Lunik 3 inOctober 1959. Phase II began with tests of a powerful new rocket for
space purposes in Januar...

THIS eight-page Flight International feature chronicles all the principal achievements of the
first five years of the space era, which began with the successful launch into Earth orbit of
Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957. The charts and tables which follow are more complete
and accurate than any previously published, and the unavoidable omissions and
uncertainties which remain are attrib...

 ...This vehicle has four conical strap-on boosters
(familiar in the Vostok launcher) attached to the sustainer
core, but is without the top stage. The sequence is presented
as the launching of the first sputnik on October 4, 1957; and
a separate item reconstructs release from the nosecone of the
1841b, 23in diameter sphere with its four whip aerials.
This is followed by scenes in the preparation buil...

satellite types in Table 3.
The densities vary widely, early satellites such as Sputnik 1,

By comparison, the Lunik 1 rocket and the recent Vostoks ...
