Nearly everything except the satellite itself and perhaps the rocket attached to it was "off the shelf...
...Truman Library at Independence, Mo. For speaking freely, Truman asked only to put the lid (for his lifetime) on some 45 minutes of the conversation, covering half a dozen such questions as why he dragged his feet behind Adlai Stevenson in the 1956 campaign.
