A  Piece  of  Solar  History  at  Solar  2017The  fifth  Vanguard  satellite  created  for  launch  in  1958.  Seven  were  created,  #4  made  it  into  space. It  was  the  first  satellite  to  be  solar  powered.  Communication  with  it  was  lost  in  1964,  but  it  remains  the  oldest  manmade  satellite  still  in  orbit.  Vanguard  1  was  described  by  then-­‐Soviet  Premier  Nikita  Khrushchev  as  "the  grapefruit  satellite."
