Were there any differences? One source says the aluminum was on the inside?for Echo 2?vs the outside on Echo 1, but other sources dont' confirm that. Also, was the thickness any different?

 NOVA
 PRESENTS
 Sputnik Declassified
 Tuesday, September 29 at 8pm ET/PT on PBS
 On October 4, 1957, the Space Age dawned with the red hue of the
 Communist flag when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial
 satellite. Sputnik I stunned the world and spurred a surge in
 science education and innovation that changed our world forever. But
 was Sputnik I really a shock to America's leaders, and how close was
 the U.S. to getting into space first? NOVA draws on previously
 classified documents to tell the real story behind the opening
 chapter in the space race. For more on the space race, see a time
 line on the program's companion website.

 In "Sputnik Declassified," NOVA probes the prehistory of the Space
 Age, examining what makes Earth orbit so difficult to achieve; why
 the superpower rivalry in the wake of World War II made spaceflight
 attainable for the first time in history; and how a worldwide
 civilian science effort called the International Geophysical Year
 served as the occasion for both Sputnik I and the American response.
