I can get you going in the right direction but don't know the actual date. The Sidewinder Missile was developed at the Naval Weapons Center in China Lake California in the 1950's. It was named the sidewinder because the base is located in the upper Mohave desert and has a huge population of Sidewinder Rattlesnakes. So, if you look up Sidewinder Missiles you will be on your way to success.

a rocket is an unguided weapon while a missile is a optically/ wire guided/ radar/ heat tracking weapon which is designed for precision targeting. ie: rocket pod on an AH-64 (no guidance) or Javelin missile ( Heat Tracking)
A heat seeking missile is basically a homing missile, that only searches for heat (there is lava on one side and a computer on the other side. The heat seeking missile will hit the lava because lava is WAY HOTTER than the computer).
Technically any aircraft can be shot down with a heat seeking missile, however that is why they have flares and chaff
When flying an aircraft like helicopters or airplanes ,to avoid heat seeking missilesyou just have to turn off the engine and problem solved!A correct answer not mislead by Hollywood:There are three ways that are commonly used to avoid heat seeker's. Passive: this is done by shielding the hot exhaust from the heat seeking system on the missile. The stealth bomber uses this systemFlairs: The aircraft being fired upon puts out one or usually many flairs that burn white hot to attract the missile away from the aircraft. This is fitted to almost every US military aircraft.Maneuver: The idea is to have the missile get close enough and then make a turn or other maneuver the missile cant follow. This usually requires several turns done exactly right to get the desired effect.

Heat seeking missiles lock on to the nearest heat source , usually its the heat from the exhaust or engines.
To kill people and destroy equipment.

I think china did...They invented the firework that became the missile so probbaly
