Satellites in low orbit are affected by drag from the very top layer of the atmosphere. This drag eventually slows them down, which brings them in contact with denser layers of atmosphere, which slows them down and brings them down even more. Eventually, they burn up by the heat from rushing real fast through the air.
Sputnik 2 has been in space for sixty (60) days.
lunch the space race???
the name of the first satellite is Sputnik
They were unmanned, although Sputnik 2 carried a dog into space.
Before Sputnik, America was in a "battle" with Russia on space flight. America wanted to be the first in space, on the moon, and have the first satellite orbit the Earth. - When Sputnik (Russian Satellite) went into space, tension was created by which we had lost part of the Space Race. It put Russia ahead of America in the Space Race.
I think it was Sputnik. But the first man-made object in space was a steel plate that was launched into space by an atomic bomb test. That only happened two months before Sputnik.
Upon re entry to the earths atmosphere , It burned up
The Soviet Union, Russia, launched the first aircraft, sputnik, containing a dog into space
Sputnik proved that space exploration was possible.
Sputnik was the world's first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. This event marked the beginning of the space age and heightened the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States. Sputnik's successful launch also led to the creation of NASA and advancements in space technology.

Sputnik was an early Russian space satellite.
Sputnik 2 has been in space for sixty (60) days.
The rocket that sent Sputnik 1 into space is the SPUTNIK - PS by the former Soviet Union(now Russia).
The first artificial satellite in space was called the Sputnik. The Sputnik satellite was launched on the 4th of October, 1957. It belonged to the Soviet Union.
The Soviet Space Program later replaced by the Russian Federal Space Agency have officially named 12 Sputnik craft (Sputnik 1 through Sputnik 10 which were launched by rockets into orbit as well as Sputnik 40 and Sputnik 41 which were released from the Mir space station). Outside of the Soviet Union, Sputnik 20 through Sputnik 25 may be referred to. However, the Soviet Union officially refers to these as Cosmos missions due to the launch failures.
Sputnik was the first successful launch.
