Very few unmanned artificial satellites or space probes are ever recovered. They are either slowed in orbit by means of a retro-rocket, or else simply left for their orbit to decay naturally, and they are annihilated as they burn up upon re-entry into the dense lower atmosphere. Sputnik I, the first artificial satellite, burned up during re-entry after about 3 months in orbit.

Who invented Sputnik?
There was more than one Sputnik. Sputnik was a common name for vehicles in the early Russian / Soviet Space programme, Sputnik 1, Sputnik 2 etc They were all invented by the Russians AKA Soviet Union. The team, at least for the first Sputniks, was lead by Sergei Korolev
Who one came first sputnik 1 or sputnik?
Sputnik was the "family name" for a series of satellites, so there never was a satellite named only Sputnik. They all had numbers with Sputnik 1 being the first.
What did sputnik 1 do?
Sputnik was used for gathering data and information about space. It also led to the US/USSR space race. Seriously, Sputnik 1 sent out periodic radio beeps, that is ALL it did. It had no instruments for data collection of any kind! Most people think it was used for the USSR (the Soviet Union) to show other countries it was more technologically advanced than others.
How did the Americans responds to the launch of sputnik?
The Launch of Sputnik was the beginning of the Space Race.The United States Government was afraid that the Russians may be able to weaponize space. Sputnik was physical evidence that they were making progress on "The Final Frontier". It encouraged the US to put all of their effort into their own space program.The space race played a large part in the cold war, and culminated in the Moon Landing in 1969.They knew the SU had a rocket strong enough to reach the US so they raced to create a satellite.
What was Sputnik 1 and 2?
Sputnik 1 and Sputnik 2 were artificial satellites that traveled around the Earth. People thought that Sputnik 1 was spying on them, but all it did was transmit a simple tracking signal for 3 weeks.
What did Sputnik do?
Sputnik satellites were a series of space vehicles sent up into space by the Soviets. Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite, sent up in October 1957, really just to test the feasibility of a man made satellite. Sputnik 1 stayed in low orbit around the earth for 3 months before re-entering and burning up through the earths atmosphere. Further Sputnik vehicles took animals and men into space, or took probes to Venus and Mars..There were several Sputniks, with Sputnik 1 being the most famous.Sputnik 1 wasn't really meant to do much, it was mainly an experiment to see if:- something could be launched into space and achieve orbit- if something could be built to keep operating up there- to show off what the then Soviet Union could do- oh, and it kept sending a beep on radio, so that people all over the world could hear it on their radio sets as it passed above.
How many satellites are in Russia?
The first man made, and Russian (Soviet) satellite was Sputnik launched in 1957.
Who did Sputnik 1 orbit first?
Sputnik I? The Russian (Soviet Union) satellite? Well, the Soviet Union had successfully launched this satellite, so the Russians were indeed involved. I am pretty sure that only the Soviet Union was involved (even though Sputnik I was part of the Space Race, the American people did not have anything to do with the satellite).
Why was sputnik launch?
well, it's all called the Space Race. the united states and russia were racing against each other to who could go out in space and got to the moon first.Sputnik helped identify the density of the upper atmosphere. It also helped understand radio-signal distribution in the ionosphere. It detected meteoroid strikes.Sputniks purpose was to see how satellites could be put into space, and to monitor many things such as air density while in space. Sputnik was a spherical shaped craft with four antennas, and many measuring devices. Transmissions were sent to earth through beeping, which not only relayed information, but told Soviets more about how radio waves work in space. Another thing that made Sputnik's shape relevant to its use was its core. The main body of the craft was filled with Nitrogen; If Sputnik got hit by asteroids, astrologists would be able to tell and judge how much effect asteroids had on it. Sputnik was the first frontier in learning more about space and what it's like.
How was the sputnik launched?
Sputnik 1, 2 and 3 were all launched by the Sputnik rocket, a derivative of the R-7 Semyorka ICBM (NATO reporting name: SS-6 Sapwood).
Where and what dates were all of the trips?
I think he only been to 4 trips
What eas the nameof the 1st man made object in space?
Sputnik, was supposedly the first man made object to reach space. It was a Russian built satellite, that sent out radio waves o be picked up by scientists and civilians all over the world.
