On March 17, 1958 Vanguard TV-4 successfully put it's payload the Vanguard 1 Satellite into orbit. The satellite was nicknamed "grapefruit" by the press, because of it's small size. Although small, weighing only 3.24 lb the satellite's scientific data confirmed the pear-shape form of the Earth.

The above spaceship was design using Strata 3d Pro computer graphic program. The model parts where made with Illustrator and imported into Strata and were either extruded or skinned. Textures maps in the scene are made with Photoshop.
