Sputnik was the first artificial satellite, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. It marked a significant milestone in the Space Race and the Cold War, demonstrating Soviet technological prowess and surprising the world, particularly the United States. Its launch initiated a new era of space exploration and led to advancements in satellite technology, scientific research, and ultimately, the establishment of NASA. The event also heightened fears of Soviet capabilities, prompting increased investment in science and education in the U.S.
Sputnik was the "family name" for a series of satellites, so there never was a satellite named only Sputnik. They all had numbers with Sputnik 1 being the first.
No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
Sputnik was a satellite, so there were various instruments and technology inside the sphere, including radio transmitters and batteries for power. These components allowed Sputnik to transmit data back to Earth and pave the way for future space exploration.
