The first satellite to be visible was the first satellite in orbit. Sputnik 1 was visible (barely) while its last stage booster was very visible. Early satellites were low altitude and there was less competition from street and city lighting in those days.

∙ 6y agoThe first satellite sent into space was the Sputnik, it was launched on October 4th, 1957 by the USSR also known as the Soviet Union or Russia. It emitted a radio signal that was received by Russia radio observers on the ground. This pinpointed its speed, altitude, and elliptical path. Spudnik was in a very low orbit however, and after a few months it reentered the earth's atmosphere and was destroyed.
