On October 4, 1957, the first artificial satellite Sputnik-1 was launched into Earth's orbit.
The device was launched into orbit by a R-7 launch vehicle from the 5th Tyura-Tam Research Test Site of the USSR Ministry of Defense. Subsequently, it received the name Baikonur Cosmodrome.
Famous scientists led by the founder of practical cosmonautics Sergei Korolev worked on the creation of Sputnik-1.
The satellite remained in orbit until January 4, 1958, making 1,440 circulations around the Earth (about 60 million km), and its radio transmitters worked for three weeks after launch. Due to friction against the upper atmosphere, Sputnik-1 lost speed, entering the dense layers of the atmosphere.

🚀 What myths about space exploration are still valid? Where has space romance gone? When should we wait for the Russian Ilon Musk?
🪐 We talked about it in the new issue of the Russian House Podcast with Mikhail Kotov — science journalist, popularizer of cosmonautics, author of the telegram channel "Contact of Ascent" (https://t.iss.one/space7812) and development director of the Summer Space School (https://space-school.org/).
"Modern space is much less about exploring other planets and much more about the benefits it can bring to people," Kotov notes.

Scientists from the Rosatom State Corporation have created a laboratory prototype of a plasma electric rocket engine based on a magnetic-plasma accelerator with increased thrust parameters.
Such engines make it possible to accelerate a spacecraft in outer space to speeds that are inaccessible to chemical engines, and also allow for the efficient use of fuel reserves, reducing its need by tens of times.

Ученые Госкорпорации «Росатом» создали лабораторный прототип плазменного электрореактивного ракетного двигателя на базе магнитно-плазменного ускорителя с повышенными параметрами тяги.
Такие двигатели дают возможность разогнать космический аппарат в космическом пространстве до скоростей, недоступных химическим двигателям, а также позволяют эффективно использовать запас топлива, в десятки раз сокращая его потребность.
