On October 4, 1957, humanity officially became a spacefaring civilization. Sputnik 1, a simple polished metal sphere with four trailing antennas, was the spark that ignited the Space Age and the Space Race.
Part of the Historic Spacecraft Series, this pin commemorates the moment we first looked up and knew something we made was looking back down.
Historic Design: Captures the iconic silhouette of the first artificial satellite.
Large Format: Measures approximately 2.25" in a triangular profile to accommodate the antennas.
Secure Backing: Features a double rubber clutch to keep it safe on your gear.
