Many projects had been planned for the International Geophysical Year 1957, including orbital satellites by both the US and USSR. The USSR succeeded first, largely because they were willing to use their existing proven military rockets and the US insisted on launching with new untested civilian rockets (which kept blowing up on the launch pad) so that they could "pretend" that the satellite was unrelated to military applications..
