1957
I can't remember but in my primary school I learned it ,oh year i think it was called "the beacon 11
The first sputnik didn't actually crash but rather burned as it reentered the atmosphere in January of 1958. There were actually over 40 sputnik's released into space.
Sputnik 1 was designed by the Russians. The year 1957 saw the beginning of the "Space Age", and the beginning of the "Space Race" between the USA and the USSR. The Soviet Union became the first to launch an artificial satellite into orbit around the Earth, on 4 October 1957. The Sputnik spacecraft, meaning 'companion' or 'fellow traveller', weighed 83kg and was about the size of a Basketball. It orbited the Earth approximately every 98 minutes at a speed of 32,000km per hour, 800km above the earth. Sputnik was launched from Kazakhstan, and stayed in orbit for three months, plunging to Earth on 4 January 1958.
The Explorer 1 was launched on January 31,1958 one year after the Sputnik 1,and Sputnik 11
The Soviet Union sent the first spacecraft into space. Sputnik 1 launched on October 4, 1957. A year later in 1958 the United States became the second country to travel into space with the launch of Explorer 1.

Every known spacecraft began on earth and went to other places. That's also true of every known drawing, component, fragment, subsystem, and model of spacecraft. Few of them ever returned to earth.
The Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is known as a year.
Sputnik 1 was the first artificial Earth satellite, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. It transmitted radio signals back to Earth, marking the beginning of the space age and the space race between the US and the Soviet Union.
