Explorer 1 was launched January 31, 1958. Besides being the first U.S. satellite, it is known for discovering the Van Allen radiation belt.
The first artificial satellite was Sputnik 1 and it was launched into an elliptical low Earth orbit by the Soviet Union October 4 at 19:28:34p.m. in 1957. The first US satellite was Explorer I on January 31, 1958.
the name of the satellite was called Explorer
The first artificial satellite into space was named sputnik and was launched by the USSR. The term "Space Race" actually applies to the race to the moon which was won by the US when the Apollo spacecraft touched down in 1969.
The first artificial satellite was Sputnik I, launched by the USSR on October 4, 1957. It orbited the Earth until January 4, 1958. Sputnik 2, carrying a live dog passenger, was launched November 3, 1957. The first successful US satellite was Explorer 1, launched February 1, 1958.
Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite launched into space by the Soviet Union in 1957. It marked the beginning of the space age and the space race between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

No. The first satellite to be launched into space was Sputnik, launched by the Soviet Union in 1957.
The oldest piece of space debris still in orbit is the Vanguard 1 satellite, launched by NASA in 1958. This satellite was the fourth artificial satellite to be launched into Earth's orbit and is estimated to remain in orbit for over 200 years due to its high altitude.
I don't know who attenpted the first failed launch, but the first artificial satellite that successfully achieved orbit was Sputnik-1, launched from the USSR in October, 1957.
Explorer I (the first US satellite to orbit the Earth) was launched on January 31, 1958, and discovered the radiation belts known as the Van Allen Belt. Additional satellites were launched to study the radiation. Unfortunately Explorer 2 (March 5, 1958) failed to reach orbit. Explorer 3, also known as Gamma 1, was successfuly orbited on March 26, 1958, becoming the second US satellite in space.
