Best Answer

In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, which was the first man-made satellite.
The first satellite was Sputnik 1, launched on October 4, 1957.

Sputnik is the first publicly recognized artificial satellite, but there are large rumors (but obviously no confirmation for this is classified information) that the U.S. launched a modified V-2 rocket in 1948.
in 1957
Sputnik 1 was the first satellite. It was launched by the former Soviet Union in 1957.
The first satellite put into orbit was a Russian satellite called sputnik. It was put into orbit on 10/4/1957.
