Artificial Earth satellite (satellite) is a spacecraft revolving around the Earth in a geocentric orbit. Geocentric orbit- the trajectory of a celestial body along an elliptical path around the Earth. One of the two foci of the ellipse along which the celestial body moves coincides with the Earth. In order for the spacecraft to be in this orbit, it must be given a speed that is less than the second escape velocity, but not less than the first escape velocity. AES flights are carried out at altitudes of up to several hundred thousand kilometers. The lower limit of the satellite's flight altitude is determined by the need to avoid the process of rapid braking in the atmosphere. The orbital period of a satellite, depending on the average flight altitude, can range from one and a half hours to several days.

Movement of an artificial Earth satellite in geostationary orbit
Of particular importance are satellites in geostationary orbit, whose orbital period is strictly equal to a day and therefore for a ground observer they “hang” motionless in the sky, which makes it possible to get rid of rotating devices in antennas. Geostationary orbit(GSO) - a circular orbit located above the Earth’s equator (0° latitude), while in which an artificial satellite orbits the planet with an angular velocity equal to the angular velocity of the Earth’s rotation around its axis.

The satellite's body consisted of two hemispheres with a diameter of 58 cm made of aluminum alloy with docking frames connected to each other by 36 bolts. The tightness of the joint was ensured by a rubber gasket. In the upper half-shell there were two antennas, each of two rods 2.4 m and 2.9 m long. Since the satellite was unoriented, the four-antenna system gave uniform radiation in all directions.
A block of electrochemical sources was placed inside the sealed housing; radio transmitting device; fan; thermal relay and air duct of the thermal control system; switching device for on-board electrical automation; temperature and pressure sensors; onboard cable network. Mass of the first satellite: 83.6 kg.

The first project of a manned rocket was in 1881 the project of a rocket with a powder engine by the famous revolutionary Nikolai Ivanovich Kibalchich (1853-1881). Having been convicted by the royal court for participating in the murder of Emperor Alexander II, Kibalchich, on death row, 10 days before his execution, submitted a note to the prison administration describing his invention. But tsarist officials hid this project from scientists. It became known only in 1916.

The flight of the first satellite was preceded by long work by Soviet rocket designers led by Sergei Pavlovich Korolev. 1931-1947 In 1931, the Jet Propulsion Study Group was created in the USSR, engaged in the design of rockets, in which, in particular, Zander, Tikhonravov, Pobedonostsev, Korolev worked. On May 13, 1946, J.V. Stalin signed a decree on the creation of a rocket science and industry in the USSR. In 1947, flight tests of V-2 rockets assembled in Germany marked the beginning of Soviet work on the development of rocket technology. In 1948, tests of the R-1 rocket, which was a copy of the V-2, manufactured entirely in the USSR, were already carried out at the Kapustin Yar test site. On February 13, 1953, the first decree was issued obliging the development of a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 7-8 thousand km. In January 1954, a meeting of chief designers was held, at which the basic principles of the layout of the rocket and ground-based launch equipment were developed. On March 16, 1954, a meeting was held with Academician M.V. Keldysh, where the range of scientific problems solved with the help of artificial Earth satellites was defined. On May 20, 1954, the government issued a decree on the development of a two-stage R-7 intercontinental missile.

At the beginning of March 1957, the first R-7 rocket No. M1-5 was delivered to the technical position of the test site, and on May 5 it was taken to launch pad No. 1. Preparations for the launch lasted a week, refueling began on the eighth day. The launch took place on May 15 at 19:00 local time. The launch went fine, but at the 98th second of the flight there was a malfunction in one of the side engines, after another 5 seconds. all engines automatically turned off and the rocket fell 300 km from the launch. The cause of the accident was a fire as a result of depressurization of the high-pressure fuel line. Design of the simplest satellite began in November 1956, and at the beginning of September 1957, PS-1 passed final tests on a vibration stand and in a thermal chamber. On Friday, October 4, at 22 hours 28 minutes 34 seconds Moscow time (19 hours 28 minutes), a successful launch took place. People at the cosmodrome ran out into the street, shouted “Hurray!”, shook the designers and military personnel. And even on the first orbit, a TASS message was heard: “... As a result of a lot of hard work by research institutes and design bureaus, the world’s first artificial Earth satellite was created...”

Launch of the first artificial Earth satellite On October 4, 1957, the whole world was shocked by the news that the first Soviet artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik-1, had been launched into low-Earth orbit. This is how the first step into heaven was taken. “It was small, this very first artificial satellite of our old planet, but its ringing call signs spread across all continents and among all peoples as the embodiment of the daring dream of mankind,” said the chief designer of rocket and space systems, S.P. Korolev.

Man has dreamed of flying for a long time. And he not only dreamed, but also built his own hypotheses about this. For example, back in 1687, the great mathematician and physicist Newton suggested that if a lead ball was fired from a cannon standing on a mountain, it would fly several miles along a curve before falling to the ground. If you shoot it with double force, it will fly even further. By increasing the speed, you can increase the flight range, or you can make it surround the entire earth and even go into the celestial spaces. K. E. Tsiolkovsky was the first to translate dreams into reality when he derived a formula for determining the speed of a rocket in outer space. Thus, already at the beginning of the 20th century. the theoretical possibility of manufacturing artificial Earth satellites appeared. The impetus for their creation was the successful development of the first ballistic missile. A group of scientists led by Academician M.V. Keldysh dealt with the problems of its design and testing. For the first time, the decision to create an unoriented Earth satellite launched using an intercontinental ballistic missile was made in 1956. According to preliminary calculations, it was supposed to weigh approximately 1000-1400 kg, of which 200-300 kg was allocated for scientific equipment. The first launch was scheduled for 1957. At this time, the United States was preparing to launch its artificial satellite. But the first attempt was unsuccessful, and the US Navy Avangard rocket capsized on the launch pad and exploded.

Scientists decided to make the Soviet satellite in the shape of a ball, which would make it possible to make full use of its internal volume. When finished, Sputnik 1 (as it received its name) weighed only 83.6 kg; its diameter was 58 cm. To better reflect sunlight and ensure the necessary thermal conditions, the body was made of aluminum alloy. The device was powered by silver-zinc batteries capable of operating for 2-3 weeks. Four rod-shaped antennas 2.9 m long were installed on the outer surface of the device, occupying a working position after entering orbit. Such a four-antenna system reduced the influence of Sputnik 1’s rotation on the quality of signals received on Earth. In the internal space of the sphere filled with nitrogen, a constant temperature was maintained using ventilation, regulated using signals from special temperature sensors. Inside the device were two radio transmitters, transmitting information about the pressure and temperature inside the satellite. Using the data obtained, scientists studied the conditions for the passage of radio waves from space to Earth. The signals were transmitted in the same way as by telegraph, with a wave duration of 0.3 seconds. The transmitters worked alternately, changing after continuous operation for 14 seconds. The first satellite was called the simplest, although it had no analogues in the technology of that time. With its help, it was possible to conduct a number of scientific studies. For example, thanks to the spherical shape of the Sputnik-1 body, it was possible to determine the density of the atmosphere at high altitudes with the greatest accuracy.

October 4, 1957 at 10:28 p.m. Moscow time, Sputnik 1 was launched into orbit. It began sending its first signals from space immediately after separating from the last stage of the rocket. The first spacecraft made 1440 revolutions around the Earth, spending 96 minutes on each revolution. 10.2 sec. Its maximum distance from the Earth's surface was 947 km. It was in low-Earth orbit for only 92 days, after which it burned up in the dense layers of the atmosphere. But this day became the beginning of a new, space era for humanity, and the Russian word “sputnik” entered many languages of the world.

This year, all progressive humanity celebrates the 55th anniversary of the launch of the First artificial Earth satellite. This was the first step towards space exploration.
Slide 6
The purpose of this work is: - Familiarization with the history of the creation of the First artificial Earth satellite (AES); - The significance of the launch of satellites for science and all humanity.
Slide 7
The history of the creation of the first satellite is connected with the work on the rocket itself. Moreover, both in the Soviet Union and in the USA it had a German origin. The main achievements of German specialists were the technology of serial production of powerful liquid-propellant rocket engines and flight control systems.
Slide 8
Single-stage missiles could not satisfy the military - they needed a multi-stage intercontinental missile capable of delivering the “cargo” to any point on the globe. The development of such a rocket was carried out at the Korolev Design Bureau
Slide 9
Sergei Pavlovich Korolev 01/12/1907 - 01/14/1966 Sergei Pavlovich Korolev - chief designer of the first launch vehicles, artificial Earth satellites, manned spacecraft, founder of practical cosmonautics, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1958), Hero of Socialist Labor (1956, 1961), laureate Lenin Prize (1957), member of the CPSU since 1953.
Slide 10
Back in 1939, one of the founders of practical cosmonautics in our country, the closest associate of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, Mikhail Klavdievich Tikhonravov, wrote: “All work in the field of rocketry, without exception, ultimately leads to space flight.”
Slide 11
Tikhonravov’s group developed the concept of an artificial Earth satellite from 1950 to 1954 almost “underground.” In the foreground (from left to right): Vladimir Galkovsky, Gleb Maksimov, Lidiya Soldatofva, Mikhail Tikhonravov and Igor Yatsunsky; in the background (standing): Grigory Moskalenko, Oleg Gurko and Igor Bazhinov.

Slide 12
Although the satellite was called the simplest, it was created for the first time; there were no analogues in technology. Only one thing was set - a weight limit (no more than 100 kg). Quite quickly, the designers came to the conclusion that it would be advantageous to make it in the shape of a ball. The spherical shape made it possible to make full use of the internal volume with a smaller shell surface.
Slide 13
Inside the satellite they decided to place two radio transmitters with a radiation frequency of 20.005 and 40.002 MHz. Receiving their signals would allow scientists to study the conditions for the passage of radio waves from space to Earth. In addition, it was necessary to transmit information about the pressure and temperature inside the satellite.
Slide 14
At dawn on October 3, 1957, the rocket, docked with the satellite, was carefully removed from the installation and testing building. Walking nearby were the creators of the world's first space complex. And the bulk of the rocket before the launch was amazingly beautiful. She sparkled all over, covered with frost.
Slide 15
On October 4, 1957, at 22:28 Moscow time, a bright burst of light illuminated the night steppe, and the rocket went up with a roar. Her torch gradually weakened and soon became indistinguishable against the background of the heavenly bodies.
Slide 16
“He was small, this very first artificial satellite of our old planet, but his sonorous call signs spread across all continents and among all peoples as the embodiment of the daring dream of mankind.” S. Korolev
Slide 17
In an hour and a half - a trip around the world, 15 revolutions per day, and each time along a new route, because the plane of the satellite’s orbit in space is stationary, and the Earth rotates around its axis inside this orbit. Thousands of eyes and radios watched his flight. And every hour of his life interested scientists.
Slide 18
For the first time in history, hundreds of millions of people could observe in the rays of the rising or setting sun an artificial star, created not by gods, but by the hands of man, moving across the dark sky. And the world community perceived this event as the greatest scientific achievement. For the first time, the first cosmic velocity was achieved, calculated by the founder of classical physics and the law of universal gravitation, the Englishman Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727).
Slide 19
On February 1, 1958, the first American satellite, Explorer-1, was launched into orbit, and a little later, other countries also launched independent satellites: November 26, 1965 - France (satellite A-1), November 29, 1967 - Australia (VRSAT-1). 1"), February 11, 1970 - Japan ("Osumi"), April 24, 1970 - China ("China-1"), October 28, 1971 - Great Britain ("Prospero").
Slide 20
Thanks to these flights, people began to realize that humanity has one single home, one planet, and there is a goal that can unite all peoples - the study of the Earth for the benefit of all people. Outer space became an arena for scientific cooperation, and world science was enriched with new invaluable data.
Slide 21
The pioneers of practical astronautics, the creators of the first artificial Earth satellites, knew how to look far ahead. But even in those years they would hardly have been able to imagine that their small and, from a modern perspective, simple devices would give rise to the formation of a grandiose system.
Slide 22
The flight of the first satellite became the beginning of a whole series of courageous deeds of all mankind, who saw satellites in space, the first flight of man into space, the first steps on the Moon, the first radio transmissions from Mars and from space probes that visited the planets of the Solar System.
Slide 23
Over the past 55 years, more than one thousand spacecraft have been launched into near-Earth orbits. Their orbits encircle the Earth in a dense grid; they “see” everything that happens on Earth. Together they constitute a gigantic information system.
Slide 24
We can conclude that science needs astronautics - it is a grandiose and powerful tool for studying the Universe, the Earth, and man himself. Cosmonautics is vital for all humanity! Every year, satellite systems will become an increasingly significant part of the Unified Communications System.
Slide 25
This work was presented in grades 7-9 at the school on Cosmonautics Day and dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the launch of the first artificial Earth satellite.
