RE: [amsat-bb] Sputnik Jr.?

["Kevin Muenzler WB5RUE" <wb5rue@xxxxxxxx>]

The "official" name was Sputnik-40 for the 40th anniversary of Sputnik back
in 1950whatever.

I remember calling it "Sputnik Jr." once, I think it stuck.  I doubt that I
caused the name but it's nice to think so.

I got a "nasty" message from someone in Russia, I can almost hear him
yelling at me --
"Is not Sputnik Junior! Is Sputnik-40..."

When looking at the Keps on the Celestrak web site today I saw a satellite
named Sputnik Jr.. What is it? Did I somehow miss something?
