Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, orbited the Earth at an altitude of approximately 200 to 900 kilometers (about 124 to 560 miles). Its initial orbit was around 580 kilometers (about 360 miles) above Earth's surface. Sputnik completed an orbit roughly every 96 minutes, marking a significant milestone in space exploration.

What is the name of the first satellite sent into space what country was it from?

The first satellite in space was Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. It was a spherical satellite about 58 centimeters in diameter and transmitted radio signals back to Earth, marking the beginning of the space age and the start of the space race. Sputnik 1 orbited the Earth approximately every 90 minutes before re-entering the atmosphere and burning up on January 4, 1958.
What did Sputnik do?
Sputnik satellites were a series of space vehicles sent up into space by the Soviets. Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite, sent up in October 1957, really just to test the feasibility of a man made satellite. Sputnik 1 stayed in low orbit around the earth for 3 months before re-entering and burning up through the earths atmosphere. Further Sputnik vehicles took animals and men into space, or took probes to Venus and Mars..There were several Sputniks, with Sputnik 1 being the most famous.Sputnik 1 wasn't really meant to do much, it was mainly an experiment to see if:- something could be launched into space and achieve orbit- if something could be built to keep operating up there- to show off what the then Soviet Union could do- oh, and it kept sending a beep on radio, so that people all over the world could hear it on their radio sets as it passed above.
Which nation sent the first satellite into space?
The first one that succeeded in achieving orbit was Sputnik-1, launched by the USSR from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on October 4, 1957. There were earlier attempts that failed, in both the US and Russia. Sputnik was the first one that achieved orbit outside the atmosphere and stayed up there for a while.

Where is the satellite Sputnik?
Sputnik 1 (and also the next three Sputnik spacecraft) burned up in the atmosphere during re-entry. There are replicas in many Russian museums and at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington.
Was Sputnik Earths first artificial satellite?
It was the first human-made satellite, (launched from Russia on Oct. 4, 1957), to orbit the Earth. A space probe leaves the orbit of Earth and goes off into distant space. Sputnik only left Earth's orbit to burn up in the upper atmosphere on Jan. 4, 1958.
What was the first man made space satellite called?
Sputnik 1, the first man made object to orbit the earth. And we've been polluting like crazy up there ever since.

How has space technolog changed?
yes it has changed, and that is because of sputnik. sputnik was the first artificial satellite to be launched.now, what we see on TV or on the radio is because of the birth of satellites.they are things that go up into space and then they take pictures and then bring the data back to the earth.
