The Sputnik 1 was successful, but there'd been several failed attempts before that one.
Yes, the mission of Sputnik was accomplished. Sputnik 1 was the world's first artificial satellite, launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. Its successful launch marked the beginning of the space age and the start of space exploration.
Sputnik 1 was launched on the 4th of October, 1957. The booster used by it had been used in August of that year to launch a long range missile.
Sputnik-1, launched from the USSR on October 4, 1957, was the first successful man-made earth satellite. But it would be a grave error to believe that US/Soviet relations were devoid of competition until that time. Indeed, had there been no fierce, unrelenting competition during the preceding several years, there would have been no Sputnik. Sputnik was a result of intense competition, not the cause of it.
It means it was the first sputnik.
The first artificial satellite ever launched into space was called Sputnik 1, not Mercury. It was launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. The successful launch of Sputnik 1 marked the beginning of the space age.
Sputnik I orbited Earth for about 3 months before decaying into Earth's atmosphere and burning up. Sputnik I burned up over 50 years ago.
Sputnik 1, the first man made object to orbit the earth. And we've been polluting like crazy up there ever since.
Sputnik 1 was a Russian satellite.
The Sputnik project was developed by the Soviet Union and led by chief designer Sergei Korolev and his team of engineers at the OKB-1 design bureau. The project also involved scientists and technicians from various disciplines working towards the successful launch of the world's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957.

Because the Sputnik program ended with Sputnik 3. Albeit there was a Sputnik 40 and 41 but these were to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sputnik 1.
