At the time of the sputnik launch, the human race had never launched anything into orbit before, so it was an interesting scientific and technological question to determine of this could be done. And artificial satellites have indeed proved over the years to have very important uses - communication satellites, global positioning satellites, spy satellites etc. What happiened was that sputnik1 was launched on October 4.1957.It was launched because it needed to gather information about the enemys but in the first few hours,the satilellte lost memory and couldnt gather more information.
It never did, and now it's destroyed so it never will. Sputnik1 only went into low-earth orbit, and never orbited anything else.
Many countries launched Chandrayaan-1 into space but USA launched it first and also launched it second .

The Nautilus was launched in 1955
