The Legacy of Спутникand “Friendly” Competition between Human and Robotic Approach Roald Sagdeev University of Maryland
Konstantin Eduardovitch Tsiolkovsky 1857-1935
Master equation of Rocketry (Tsiolkovsky) VROCKET /VFUEL = = Ln M1 /M2
From Tsiolkovsky to Sputnik and beyond • Late 19th century – 1920th (Early romanticism of the Pioneers) • 1924 – 1945 (small scale experimentation and engineering, first mass production of military rockets /“Katyusha”) • Werner von Braun (WWII): V-2 • 1945 – 1957 (Build up of rocket industry) • Call of International Geophysical Year 1957-1958 • October 4, 1957 (Beginning of the Space Age)
October 4, 1957 – SPUTNIK –1 opened the Space Age. It was a byproduct of military rocketry. How much Soviets got from Germans after WWII ?
The secrecy around Sputnik; The name of Korolev was kept confidential; Official publications praised two anonymous persons: The Chief Designer and Chief Theorist of Cosmonautics; (Sergey Korolev and Mstislav Keldysh)
Sputnik-3 (April, 1958) was promised as the first scientific satellite; It carried a package of particle detectors to study cosmic rays in space; If successful it was well equipped to run on Van Allen radiation belts
Almost a year after Sputnik-1 Korolev opened a series of launches of small probes In direction of Moon, Mars and Venus. Luna-3 reached the surface of Moon (1959)
From Sputnik to Lunar race • 1961 (Gagarin - First man in space) • Early 1960th (rapid development of manned flights, followed by Tereshkova flight) • 1969 (N-1 superrocket failure) • 1960eth (Lunar robotic missions, Lunokhod and Lunar sample return / L-1 to L-24)
Second unsuccessful launch of N-1 (1969); Terminated after 50+ seconds.

Moon will soon become a busy place for robotic spacecraft. • Europe's SMART-1 mission, a technology test of low-thrust ion propulsion, is currently on a 16-month journey to the Moon. SMART-1 will measure the chemical composition of the lunar surface, including the polar regions. • Japan is developing two missions: Lunar-A, an orbiter that will fire penetrators into the surface, and SELENE, an orbiter with two sub-satellites. • India also is planning a lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan-1. NASA agreed to participate with its science instruments. • China introduces its lunar program Cheng'e with two missions - an orbiter and a lander.
