Vanguard TV-3 Tests, U.S. Army Engineer Research & Development Laboratories, Fort Belvoir, Virginia
Technicians inspect a sphere with a fresh coat of silicon monoxide - which helps control heat - during preparations for the launch of the Vanguard TV-3 rocket, at the United States Army Engineer Research & Development Laboratories, at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, December 1957. Launched from Cape Canaveral in response to the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1 artificial satellite, the Vanguard TV-3 rocket which carried a one-and-a-half kilogram satellite, exploded on the launch pad, leading to the American press labelling it 'Kaputnik'.
