Sputnik was the first artificial satellite ever launched into space. Because it was a Russian accomplishment, the United States immediately hurried to catch up with them. This competition was a major characteristic of the Cold War.
The US launched its first successful artificial satellite, Explorer 1 (Explorer I) on January 31, 1958. The USSR (Russia) had already launched two satellites, Sputnik 1 (October 4, 1957) and Sputnik 2 (November 3, 1957). But both Sputniks had been in lower orbits: the first burned up on reentry on January 4, 1958 and the second on April 14, 1958.
On the 4th of October 1957, the Soviet Union sent Sputnik into orbit. A month later the Soviets would send Laika, First living creature (a dog) in orbit around the Earth. The Americans thinking that they were years ahead of the Soviets had a nice little wake up call.

It won't be. Sputnik reentered the atmosphere and burned up on January 4, 1958 after three months in orbit.
The movie October Sky in 1999 was based on Homer Hickam story. The story was about his motivation to take up rocketry which was the launched of Soviet Union's Sputnik 1.
Sputnik I orbited Earth for about 3 months before decaying into Earth's atmosphere and burning up. Sputnik I burned up over 50 years ago.
4th October 1957 .. it was called the Sputnik Satellite :)
The sky is up. The sky is also up high. Thank you for letting me answer your question. I hope it helped you. :)
Sputnik died on January 4th 1958, 3 months after it was launched in october 4th 1957 because it was sucked into the earths atmosphere and out of the geostationary orbit.
Sputnik 1 was the first spacecraft launched, which was done by Russia on October 4, 1957.Sputnik 2 was also launched by Russia on November 3, 1957, and carried a dog into space.

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.
