Weight 83.60 kilograms.
Orbital Period 96.20 minutes.
It was launched into an elliptical low earth orbit.
No Sputniks are still in orbit. When they were, the period of an orbit was about 88 minutes.
The Sputnik traveled at 18,000 miles per hour (29,000 kilometers), its orbit around the Earth each time took 92.6 minutes, and its actual orbit was 3 months.
Sputnik never went to Mars. Sputnik was a Russian satellite that stayed in a low earth orbit for 3 months then it burned up in reentry. It launched on October 4th, 1957.
3 months
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.
About an hour and a half.
Sputnik with its puppy dog passenger( Laika ) was launched in October 1957, and remained in orbit until early 1958, when it reentered EarthÂ’s atmosphere and burned up Sputnik 1 was in orbit for 3 months, completing 1440 orbits. Sputnik 2, Laika's flight, was in orbit for 162 days. There were other missions, but these two, especially Sputnik 1, were the ones to capture the world's - especially the US'- attention.
It never did, and now it's destroyed so it never will. Sputnik1 only went into low-earth orbit, and never orbited anything else.
It was the Russian sputnik, it was up for about 7 months.
it took 98 minutes, it stayed in space for 6 monthsIf this helps it orbited 1440 times in 3 months.
Sputnik was the first artificial Earth satellite, sent into orbit by Russia. The long-retired Sputnik rocket that was used to lift off the Sputnik 1, 2, and 3 payloads was an unmanned orbital carrier rocket (8K71PS) from the R-7 family of rockets, similar to America's (also retired) Vanguard and Juno I rockets.
