A satellite can be launched into orbit simply by launching it out of the Earth's atmosphere. To do so, the object will need to reach escape velocity, calculated by the formula v = sqrt(2GM/r), where G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth, and r is the distance from the center of the earth.
satellite launch vehicle ( ROCKET)
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 satellite (Sputnik I) was launched by the USSR (Russia) to demonstrate that they could launch a satellite into Earth orbit.
Normally satellites are placed on top of rockets and carried into space, then they are released/pushed out of the rocket once it reaches space. It is first pushed out (injected) into an orbit close to earth called a "transfer orbit," meaning an orbit used to move it from the release location to the primary/intended orbit. Sometimes a booster motor is used to move it into the transfer orbit. After the transfer orbit moves it to the correct location another motor changes it's direction/motion into the final/primary orbit. Sometimes a satellite is carried into space by the Space Shuttle, and then released. After that it moves into a transfer orbit that carries it to the final orbit like other satellites.
Rockets are used as engines to accelerate the satellite to a speed fast enough to get it in orbit.

The full form of GSLV is Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. It is an expendable launch vehicle used by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to launch satellites into geosynchronous transfer orbit.
Man-made satellites are placed into orbit through a process called launch. A rocket carries the satellite into space and, after reaching a specific altitude, the rocket's stages separate, allowing the satellite to continue on its trajectory. Once in the desired orbit, the satellite's onboard systems are activated, and it begins its operational functions. The precise calculations and timing during the launch ensure that the satellite reaches the intended orbit and speed.
think it was the soviet union.............
Gravity affects a satellite launch by pulling the satellite towards the Earth during its initial phase of ascent. This requires the rocket to generate enough thrust to overcome gravity in order to reach the desired orbit. Once the satellite is in orbit, gravity continues to affect its trajectory, helping to keep it in orbit around the Earth.
