Satellites went up in rockets, so both at the same time. Unless you mean a rocket with a person in it, in which case the satellites went up first.

How is satellite sent into space?
All satellites today get into orbit by riding on a rocket or by riding in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle. Several countries and businesses have rocket launch capabilities, and satellites as large as several tons make it safely into orbit on a regular basis. For most satellite launches, the scheduled launch rocket is aimed straight up at first. This gets the rocket through the thickest part of the atmosphere most quickly and best minimizes fuel consumption.

When was the first liquid launched rocket?
The US's first solid fuel rocket capable launching a satellite into orbit was named Scout. I think this was the first solid fuel rocket to carry payloads into orbit because the Soviet Union did not begin it's solid rocket program until later. It is possible the Minuteman ICBM may have been the first solid rocket to reach space but in a ballistic flight (go up and fall back down like a cannon ball), but I haven't been able to find the date of the first Minuteman sub orbital flight and both rockets were developed at about the same time.
