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. Of four known Sputnik-1 test articles, this was the only one known to be functional.[2][3][4]

Of four known models, two reside in private hands, one is located at the Energia Corporate Museum outside Moscow, and one, lacking internal components, is displayed at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington, US.[5]
