Reevaluation of Vanguard program objectives in Jan 1957 resulted in production of 6.44-in. diam, 3.25-lb sphere with 6 equally spaced solar cell clusters and 6 antennas mounted on its surface; development of mechanism to separate satellite from third-stage rocket; satellite and strap pull pin girth ring arrangement were fully tested prior to flight; successful orbiting and flight operation proved adequacy of design.
