Sputnik was the world's first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. This event marked the beginning of the space age and heightened the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States. Sputnik's successful launch also led to the creation of NASA and advancements in space technology.
Sputnik 1 re-entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up after 3 months in orbit, on January 4, 1958. It lasted in space for a total of 92 days, transmitting data on radio frequencies back to Earth during its mission.
Sputnik I completed 1,440 orbits before falling back to earth.

It didn't First off, sputnik was a "family name" for a series of satellites, but none that landed. They burnt up during re-entry.
Upon re entry to the earths atmosphere , It burned up

I think it was Sputnik. But the first man-made object in space was a steel plate that was launched into space by an atomic bomb test. That only happened two months before Sputnik.
