Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, was launched into space by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, using a modified R-7 intercontinental ballistic missile. The rocket propelled Sputnik to a low Earth orbit, approximately 580 kilometers above the planet. Once in orbit, the satellite transmitted radio signals back to Earth, marking a significant milestone in the Space Race and human space exploration.
