The orbit of Sputnik I (first artificial satellite) was highly elliptical, ranging from 223 to 939 kilometres (133 to 533 miles) above the Earth. It orbited for almost exactly 3 months, completing 1440 orbits before burning up on reentry on January 4, 1958.
Sputnik was put into orbit on October 4, 1957.
Sputnik was launched into a low-Earth orbit. Sputnik was launched By the Soviet Union. It was the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. it weighed about 98 pounds and took 90 minutes to orbit earth. when Sputnik was launched the Space Race began.
No Sputniks are still in orbit. When they were, the period of an orbit was about 88 minutes.
Sputnik 1 was in orbit for about three months, from October 4, 1957, to January 4, 1958.

Sputnik 1 traveled at a speed of 18000 mph, completing one orbit of the Earth every 96.2 minutes.
Sputnik 1, the first man made object to orbit the earth. And we've been polluting like crazy up there ever since.
Sputnik was a "family name" for a series of Russian satellites. Sputnik 1 (the very first artificial satellite launched by the Russians) was in orbit in 1957, but only briefly. It was in a very low orbit, and it fell out of orbit and burned on re-entry shortly afterward, which is was designed to do. It had accomplished it's mission.
Sputnik-I
Sputnik I was launched from the USSR on October 4, 1957.
Doesn't work like that, a satellite can't orbit one country. It can stay in geostationary orbit over some, but that's it. Sputnik 1 orbited the whole Earth.
