Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, completed 1,440 orbits around the Earth during its mission, which lasted from October 4, 1957, to January 4, 1958.
Sputnik I completed 1,440 orbits before falling back to earth.
Sputnik 2 completed one orbit on its mission on November 3, 1957. It carried the dog Laika, the first living being to orbit the Earth.
The correct sequence is: NASA formed (1958), Sputnik I launches (1957), Yuri Gagarin orbits Earth (1961), John Glenn orbits the Earth (1962), and finally Neil Armstrong lands on the Moon (1969). This timeline highlights the key milestones in space exploration leading up to the Moon landing.
Sputnik was the world's first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. Its successful launch marked the beginning of the space age and triggered the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States. Sputnik orbited the Earth for three months before burning up upon reentry.
As far as was publicly announced, the first artificial satellite successfully placed into earth orbit ... the first one that stayed up long enough to actually make some orbits around the earth ... was the "Sputnik-I", launched in October of 1957 from the USSR (Russia).
Sputnik 1 made about 15 orbits per day

Sputnik 2 completed one orbit on its mission on November 3, 1957. It carried the dog Laika, the first living being to orbit the Earth.
Anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. There are 2 types: artificial (the ones we make take the old Sputnik for example) and natural (the Moon)
It didn't.First off, sputnik was a "family name" for a series of satellites, but none that was built for re-entry. They burnt up in the atmosphere as their orbits got lower.

No. All the sputniks were in fairly low-Earth orbits, and wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near the Moon.
October of 1957 is the beginning of the movie when Sputnik orbits over Homer's hometown
