That would be the Explorer 1.
Although Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite, and Sputnik 2 put the first living being in space (a dog), the USA beat the Soviets to the first scientifically equipped satellite, launching their Explorer 1 satellite on January the 31st, 1958, 104 days before the Soviet satellite Sputnik 3 was launched on May the 15th.

∙ 15y agoAt present, no. We do not have the technology to resist the amount of heat and other radiation the sun gives off even to just come close to the sun. With new space technologies always being made and improved it is possible that in the future we could have a manned satellite to go to the sun and study it. On the other hand, unmanned missions, especially to the sun, will always be much cheaper and potentially much more productive, since we could devote to science much of the cost that would otherwise have to go into maintenance and safety of the humans on board.

There had been several
unsuccessful attempts before that, by both the USSR and the USA.

Is a satellite a manned or unmanned spacecraft?
Unmanned
Is a space station manned?
Yes. The word "station" implies people at it. If a "space station" weren't manned, it would simply be called a satellite.
How do scientists measure seismic waves on the sun?
Because humans cant directly access the sun, scientist study it by usinq a satellite called SOHO.
Is earth considered as a satellite?
Yes. The Earth rotates around the Sun, and therefore it is a satellite of the Sun. Anything that rotates around something else can be cositered a satellite.
What was the first manned space capsule?
The world's first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957.

The satellite designed to study the output of energy from the sun during periods of high sunspot activity was?
Solar Max
What year was the first manned mission planned?
What are the names of mars two natural satellite
The satellite designed to study the output of energy from the sun during periods of high sunspot activity is named?
solar max... :)
How space based observation are used to study earth?
base on my observation we use satellite to study space to learn more. when we study the space we can study about meteors,planets,gadgets we are using ton explore,about the sun.
Jupiter is a satellite of another object?
Yes it is a satellite of the sun, because it orbits around the Sun in an ellipse. Any planet is a satellite in our solar system because it orbits our Sun.
What describes a satellite which orbits a planet revolving around the sun?
A satellite is an object which orbits a larger body. For example, the Moon orbits the Earth, and the Earth orbits the Sun. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and the Earth is a Satellite of the Sun.
What is the meaningof satellite?
A satellite is anything that revolves around a larger mass or object. The Earth is a satellite of the Sun, while the moon is a satellite of the Earth. We have also launched a lot of machines into an orbit around the earth, which are also called satellites. They are used to study stars and the weather, for communication and to photograph our planet.
What is Mars a satellite of?
The sun
