A GREAT VICTORY OF SOVIET SCIENCE,

Abstract

A report is presented of an address by Nesmeyanov, President of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, delivered in the Hall of Columns of the House of the Soviets on the 3rd of October, at a meeting of scientists and representatives of the Moscow community to mark the anniversary of the first artificial earth-satellite. The translation omits a formal introduction in which the speaker compares the launching of the first sputnik to great scientific turning-points in human history, such as Mendeleyev's discovery of the periodic table, the conquest of the air, and the invention of wireless telegraphy. Some results are noted of the researches carried out by means of three Soviet artificial earth satellites.
