Description

On 6 December 1957, two months after Sputnik, Vanguard’s first full launch attempt rose barely a metre off the pad at Cape Canaveral and exploded on live television. Newspapers called it Flopnik. In March 1958 it succeeded, launching Vanguard 1, a grapefruit-sized satellite that’s still in orbit, the oldest human-made object up there.

Available in 5″ x 7″, 8″ x 10″, 8″ x 12″, 11″ x 17″, 12″ x 16″, 12″ x 18″, 16″ x 20″, or 18″ x 24″, unframed and rolled in a sturdy tube, or framed in a black wooden frame, ready to hang.
