The first satellite launched in the orbit of the Earth was the Sputnik 1. It was launched on 1957 by the Soviet Union.
The first country to launch a satellite into space was Russia, under the Soviet Union. The satellite was 'Sputnik 1'. It was launched into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957. It's launch sparked a crisis within the US which precipitated the space race during the Cold War.
The first launch that successfully placed an artificial satellite in earth orbit was conducted by the USSR (Soviet Union) in October, 1957. That artificial satellite was known as Sputnik I.
No country has ever orbited the earth. Scientists and engineers in the USSR placed the first man-made satellite in earth orbit, in 1957.
Sputnik was the first man made satellite that made it into orbit. It proved that Soviet/Russian technology wasn't as crude as the US thought. It was also a bit scary, because a nation that can get something into orbit will also be able to drop anything from orbit onto any other country in the world.
the moon is a satellite or there was a Russian one spudnick

Who tried first isn't known, but the then Soviet Union were the first to succeed in getting a satellite into orbit

The first satellite in orbit was launched by the Russians on October 4, 1957. The satellite was Sputnik I, and it spurred the USA to launch their own satellite, Explorer I, on January 31, 1958.Sputnik 1
think it was the soviet union.............
The USSR was the first to successfully launch an artificial satellite on October 4th 1957. It was called Sputnik 1.
I don't know who attenpted the first failed launch, but the first artificial satellite that successfully achieved orbit was Sputnik-1, launched from the USSR in October, 1957.
Not having the means, or the money, to build it, and/or launch it into orbit. Satellites are expensive to build and to launch into orbit. A great many countries just can not afford the price tag.
