Novel Connections: Task 1

October Sky is a book set in the past. In this book the Russians send the first ever satellite into space. My connection is between the Russians sending a satellite into space in the book and the Russians sending a satellite into space recently. The satellites launched into space were, Yamal-300K and Luch 5B relay satellite.

First Point News talked about the launching of the satellites.

This connects to my book because in October Sky the Russians sent a satellite into space and in recent news the Russians sent a satellite into space.
