There are a few alternate viewpoints on exactly how and when the Space Race began, but the most accepted view is that it began on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite, into Earth orbit. This led to a rapid sequence of events in both the United States and the Soviet Union that helped mobilise the industrial resources of both superpowers towards the goal of 'beating' the other in space technology.
It marked the start of the space race between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.
The space race began in 1957 when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1. This event marked the start of a competition between the United States and the Soviet Union to achieve milestones in space exploration and technology.
The Russians started the Space Race by launching Sputnik the first satellite, which then provoked fear in the Americans to begin development of their own satellites.
The start of the National Aeronautics Space Administration known as NASA.
The race to space began in earnest in 1957 with the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik. This event marked the start of the space age and initiated a period of competition and innovation in space exploration between the United States and the Soviet Union.
