On October 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 was launched by the Soviet Union using a modified R-7 Semyorka rocket. It was the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth, marking a significant achievement in the Space Race. No other spacecraft were launched specifically to Sputnik 1 on that date, as it was a standalone mission that initiated the era of satellite technology and space exploration.
