Abstract
The so called “simplest satellite” (or PS object) was launched on October 4, 1957. It was followed by the second spacecraft that for the first time brought a living creature, Laika the dog, into space on November 3, 1957. Officially both launches were dedicated to the International Geophysical Year: July 1 1957 – December 31, 1958. And only then it was the turn of the satellite, which had originally had to be the first. Dubbed “The Third Sputnik”, it was already a full-fledged spacecraft sporting all the systems inherent to modern ones. For the first time onboard devices received and executed commands sent from the ground. Instruments built by seven different groups of Soviet scientists operated onboard the satellite. Research results were downlinked to the Earth.
