Sputnik 1 EMC/EMI is a class of full-scale laboratory models of the Soviet Sputnik 1 satellite, made to test ground Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electromagnetic Interference (AMI). The models, manufactured by OKB-1 and NII-885 (headed by Mikhail Ryazansky), were introduced on February 15, 1957.[1]

On July 20, 2016, a working Sputnik-1 EMC/EMI model, serial number 003, was sold at Bonhams in New York for US$269,000. It featured a still-operational transmitter and four antennas.[2][3][4]
