โฆ Synopsis
A simplified picture is employed for utilizing Sputnik tracking data (perigee, apogee, period, maximum and minimum orbital velocity) in the determination of the Earth's mass and radius. For this purpose, basic characteristics of the motion are conveniently re-expressed in terms of the perigee and apogee parameters. Means for deducing the launching conditions are also provided and from reported perigee, apogee data for Sputnik I it is inferred that horizontal launching took place at a firing velocity slightly more than the lower bound value.
