Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, was the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. It transmitted radio signals that could be received on the ground, allowing scientists to study its orbit and the effects of its presence in space. The satellite orbited Earth approximately every 90 minutes, providing valuable data about the atmosphere and the feasibility of space travel. Its successful launch marked the beginning of the space age and sparked the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
