Vanguards Story: Project Vanguard was the United States answer to the earlier successes of the Soviet Unions’Sputnik’. Early launches were plagued with failures. Eventually the little Vanguard satellite made it into orbit and Soviet Premier Nikita Kruschev scoffed it as America’s grapefruit satellite. The satellite ran off of solar cells and contact was lost with it in 1964. However it remains as the oldest man-made object still in space.
