there was no animal to land on the moon.No one has ever seen an animal in space appart from earth so really there is no living thing in any planet appart from Earth.

First of all, New Horizons is not a satellite, since it doesn't orbit around planet Earth (or any other planet). Anyway, such spacecraft usually send information to Earth more or less continuously.
MARS 3 from the USSR was the first, if you don't count ones that crash landed. However it failed after a few seconds. So the "real" first is reckoned to be Viking 1 of the USA.
John Glenn orbited the Earth in the Friendship 7 spacecraft on February 20, 1962, becoming the first American to orbit our planet.
