Soviet satellite monitoring, 1958
Soviet satellite monitoring. Telescopes being used, in 1958, by Soviet astronomers, to monitor a satellite as it passes overhead. These astronomers are research associates of the Pulkovo Observatory, near St Petersburg, Russia. The worlds first satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched on 4th October 1957. By the time these observations took place in October 1958, there were three satellites in orbit: Sputnik 3, Explorer 1, and Explorer 4. The last two were part of the US program of Explorer satellites

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of space exploration. Taken in October 1958, it showcases Soviet astronomers at the Pulkovo Observatory near St Petersburg, Russia diligently monitoring satellites as they pass overhead. Equipped with telescopes, these research associates are fully immersed in their task of tracking and observing the technological marvels orbiting above. The backdrop to this scene is the intense space race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the mid-20th century. Just a year prior, on October 4th, 1957, Sputnik 1 became the world's first satellite to be launched into space by the Soviets. By October 1958 when this image was captured, three satellites were already circling Earth: Sputnik 3 along with two from America's Explorer program - Explorer 1 and Explorer 4. In this monochrome photograph, we witness both male and female scientists engrossed in their work amidst an outdoor setting. Their dedication to advancing astronomical knowledge is palpable as they utilize cutting-edge technology for satellite monitoring. This snapshot not only highlights a pivotal era of scientific progress but also underscores international competition that fueled advancements in space exploration during that time period. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity while paying homage to those who paved the way for future discoveries beyond our planet's atmosphere.
