No, Explorer 1 was not manned. It was the first satellite launched by the United States on January 31, 1958, and was designed to gather scientific data about cosmic rays and the Earth's magnetic field. The satellite was launched aboard a Juno I rocket and operated autonomously, sending data back to Earth until it ceased transmission in 1960.
