The first serious proposal was made by Athur C. Clarke in 1945. Although famous as a Science Fiction writer, Clarke was a radio engineer by trade. When WW2 ended Clarke was able to think about things other than the secret work of the war. He published an article in the fall of 1945 in the British magazine Wireless World. In this he proposed not just the launch of an artificial satellite, but its use as a com-sat. He even saw far enough into the future to propose a geo-stationary orbit containing a direct broadcast satellite.
Nobody seemed to take any notice for a long time. Then, with the approach of the International Geophysical Year, the US proposed the launch of MOUSE (Minimum Orbiting Un-manned Satellite Earth) in 1958. Most people thought this too was science fiction.
However, in the fall of 1957 the USSR stunned the world by launching the first satellite.
There are now so many objects in earth-orbit that space junk is posing a threat to new launches.
The first weather satellite was invented in the United States. The TIROS-1 (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) was launched by NASA in 1960 and was the first satellite to successfully transmit weather images from space.
The first weather satellite was TIROS-1, launched by NASA in 1960. The development of this satellite was led by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in collaboration with the U.S. Weather Bureau (now the National Weather Service).
The Russian space satellite is called a "cosmic satellite" in Russian, while "космический спутник" is the common term to refer to a satellite in space.
The first satellite, Sputnik 1, was invented in the Soviet Union by a team of scientists and engineers led by Sergei Korolev. It was launched on October 4, 1957, marking the beginning of the space age.
They called it the "space meadow" or "space lawn" on the orbiting satellite.
The first space probe was the satellite Sputnik I launched in 1957.

USA but Russia was the first to make a satellite.
NASA didn't even exist when the Russians put the first artificial satellite (Sputnik) into space
first satellite was invented by USSR
A space station is a satellite.
The Polar Satellite was a spacecraft that was built by NASA and was launched in February 1996. It was invented and sent to space to gain data on the polar magnetosphere and the occurrences of aurora.
A satellite is a Space Robot?
CARTOSAT 2A is an Earth observation satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit. The satellite is the thirteenth satellite in the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite series to be built, launched and maintained by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
The first man made satellite was launched into space in 1957. It was put there by a consortium of Russian scientists. No specific person is credited with the invention of the first satellite.
Dr. Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai......the father of Indian space research programme
Satellite- A probe implies probing or traveling through space and not fixed.
