The first one that succeeded in achieving orbit was Sputnik-1, launched by the USSR

from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on October 4, 1957.

There were earlier attempts that failed, in both the US and Russia. Sputnik was

the first one that achieved orbit outside the atmosphere and stayed up there for

a while.
