===============================
No, and furthermore, no.
Sputnik was the name given to the first man-made object to successfully
achieve low-earth-orbit, after earlier failed attempts in both the USA and
the USSR.
It was not the first intended artificial satellite to be launched, only the first to
succeed. And it didn't go anywhere near "outer space", just into thin-enough
atmosphere that it was able to stay there for a few months before it fell out of
orbit and burned up.

When was echo satellite launched?
If memory serves - this was a lot of years ago - the Echo satellite(s) were launched in 1960. They were enormous "beach balls" that inflated in space after launch, and the outer skin was a shiny Mylar-type material. They were mainly an experiment in communications - bouncing signals from one place to another, and they had a planned finite life before they descended and burned in the upper atmosphere. The great-grandfathers of today's communication satellites. I will not swear to the year above, but I am almost certain it was 1960-61

Missiles! When the Soviets (Russians) launched man's first satellite (Sputnik) into outer space in 1957 that indicated that they would have the "edge" in launching ICBMs (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles) against the US. Like control of the air (air superiority) for warfare, control of space (space superiority) would dictate who would win the next war.
