\u00c2\u00a0Vanguard 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.\u00c2\u00a0 Vanguard 1 was placed into orbit on 3\/17\/1958, into a 654 x 3969 km 134.2 minute orbit inclined at 34.25 degrees. Original estimates had the orbit lasting for 2000 years, but it was discovered that solar radiation pressure and atmospheric drag during high levels of solar activity produced significant perturbations in the perigee height of the satellite, which caused a significant decrease in its expected lifetime to only about 240 years. The battery powered transmitter stopped operating in June 1958 when the batteries ran down. 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.<\/p>\n

For the modeler:<\/strong> This is a Skill Level 2 Project Vanguard Satellite 1:5 Scale Hawk Model Kit # HL603 Review.\u00c2\u00a0 Released by Hawk Models in 1958, the kit was re-released with its original box art in 1966.\u00c2\u00a0\"000b\"<\/a> In November of 2014, Round 2 Models rereleased it for us again.\u00c2\u00a0 This classic kit from the Hawk models tooling vault presents an early speculative look at the satellite. It is molded in opaque gray and clear parts along with decals to label every aspect of the exploratory craft.\u00c2\u00a0 Finished Dimensions are: 12\u00e2\u20ac\u009d End of Antenna to the End of the Opposing Antenna, 6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tall sitting on the Base<\/p>\n
