Sputnik 2, launched November 3, 1957.

Sputnik 1 was the first man-made Earth satellite, and Sputnik 2 was the second. Sputnik 2 carried a dog, Laika, as the first astronaut. The dog died a few hours after launch.

The USA did not launch its first satellite, Explorer 1, until about 3 months later, on January 31, 1958.
