World’s Oldest Satellite Has Been in Space for 67 Years. Engineers Want to Bring It Home

Awkwardly looking, a spherical satellite came to the size and high-elliptical orbit of a grapefruit launched in March 1958. Satellite, a satellite, was a test of starting opportunities in the first days of historical space age. Other satellites of the time were combined with the atmosphere of the earth, burned in a fiery death, but Vanguard-1 still in orbit, silently grew in space. The team of researchers and Engineers wants to get a satellite for closer inspection, and they are currently trying to find a way to bring the Vanguard-1 home.

Vanguard-1, the second US satellite launched into space. In 1955, it was designed to test the opportunity to start the three-stage starting tool, the startup opportunities of the starting tool and the hard ground environment in 1955. Today remains as an oldest artificial object. Researchers and group of engineers from Virginia-based counseling company BOOZ Allen Hamilton, bringing it to earth, bringing it to earth, bringing it to earth, bringing it to earth, bringing it to earth Space. The team’s suggestion is a learn It was published at the Aerospace Research Center earlier this year.

Vanguard-1 was silent in 1964, but the tracking information shows its location and orbit. The satellite lasted a long time in an elliptical orbit, the Soviet sputners and the United States in the United States or years, which fell to the earth in the United States or years. Vanguard-1, Vanguard-1, would be the oldest satellite returned to anywhere.

Researchers suggest that the satellite can be placed in the lower orbit and collapsed from space or hit the international space station. In 1984, NASA used to catch a satellite during cosmonauts using Jetpack, known as a maneuvering maneuvering device. Westar 6 and Palapa B2 communication satellites ended in the wrong orbits after the upper stage missile deficiency, so the space agency is to direct astronauts, but otherwise working space ship Nasa. The satellites were placed in the space of the space service and returned to the ground.

Taking into account that the old Vanguard-1, according to the team behind the proposal, the astronauts should take care of. Before a search attempt, the team offers a spacecraft to meet a satellite to check the proximity of a spacecraft. Engineers suggested a partner with a wealthy space enthusiast, who wants to use an empty vehicle to finance an external space venture or bringing a satellite house.

After returning to the ground, experts will examine Vanguard-1 to evaluate the situation of Vanguard-1 – if the space is still in place and whether the time of the satellite in orbit. After that, the satellite Smithsonian can be shown as a kind capsule, the team offers.

“Future missions will be difficult to buy Vanguard 1, but will be difficult for the entire US space community,” said Vanguard 1 (capturing materials for the extraction of space garbage.
