The first ever satellite launched into space was of course Sputnik 1 in October 1957.
Later, the US launched 'Explorer 1' with a Geiger counter on board, so it is probably the first probe in space.
The first probes designed to leave the earth's gravity were the Russian 'Lunik' series, sent to the Moon in the late 1950s and early 1960s. As far as longer missions are concerned the earliest interplanetary probes were the USA's 'Mariner' probes launched to Mars, Venus and Mercury in the early 1960's.
Probes are not people!
The US sent the Voyager probes, Viking probes, and New Horizons probe to explore space, while the USSR sent the Venera probes, Luna probes, and the Mars probes. These space probes played crucial roles in advancing our understanding of the solar system and beyond.
In the 1940s the US sent fruit flies into space
The first US space probe was named "Pioneer 1". It was launched on 11th October 1958.
In 1949, the "Bumper-WAC" became the first human-made object to enter space.
The first rocket the US sent up into space was the Jupiter C launch vehicle and its payload was Explorer 1 the first American Satellite.
The purpose of a probe is to independently visit outer space and sent us the photos and data. No.

The first live being sent into space by the USA was a chimpanzee called Hamm.

The first animal sent to Outer space was a dog named Laika.
Mariner 2 flew past and sent back information about Venus's atmosphere and rotation. The Soviet Union sent 1 to Venus it was the first probe called Venera 7 and Magellanthat the us sent that made detailed maps of Venus's.
Russia sent a dog before the US sent chimps.
The first probe was Pioneer 6 in 1965, it was a solar probe, and the mission was a success. The second probe was Pioneer 7 one year later. It was also a solar probe and it was also a success. After that we have launched more solar probes, and other probes out into space, almost all have been successful.
In 1949, the "Bumper-WAC" became the first human-made object to enter space.
