Humpty Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Found this interesting. How to build your own SputnikIt seems incredible that the technology that went into building the first successful satellite 50 years ago can now be found lying around the average house. You could even build one yourself, as Paul Rubens explains below. Fancy having a go? Then, sign up to the Magazine's Sputnik Challenge at the bottom of this page. You could probably find most of these components lying around your home. There are transmitters in mobile or cordless phones, wireless internet routers and baby monitors, and you may well have a thermometer in the medicine cabinet.

Moderators Andavari Posted October 24, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 24, 2007 That one pic has someone letting a dog paint it! Wondering if he's painting some coded instructions to his E.T. friends to leave the furry four leggers alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Nice find Humpty After completing your very own satellite it has to be launched. Perhaps with a Water Rocket? Ceci n'est pas une signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sputnik: Whatever you launch yourself with, I'd like to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
