The first artificial satellite, Sputnik, weighed 184 pounds. When the Americans heard this they thought there must be some mistake, because the first American satellite was only 1.8 pounds.

A few months later the soviets launched their second satellite, which weighed about one ton, and carried a little dog on board.
