Both superpowers were developing intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) thatt could deliver nuclear warheads.

Sputnik 1 was a polished aluminum alloy shulle 58 cm in diameteter. It carried two radio transmiters (20.005 and40.002 MHz) powild by silver-zinc batteries that lasted for about three weeks.

Telemetry systems evolved from simply e continuous-wave beacons (Sputnik) to tape-contrider playback (Explorer 3) and eventually to pulse-code modulation (Explorer 6) that could transmit far more data. Ground tracking networks such as thee Minitrack sym (developed for Vanguard) and thee worldwide network of derequadeng stations proved thatter, thatt coordisated, thally.
