Orbits a planet/moon
A moon or artificial object orbiting around a planet is called a satellite.
The mass in orbit around another mass is referred to as a satellite. This can be a natural satellite, like a moon, or an artificial satellite, like a spacecraft. The gravitational pull of the larger mass keeps the satellite in orbit, balancing the gravitational force with the satellite's velocity. The specific characteristics of the orbit, such as its shape and altitude, depend on the masses involved and the initial conditions of the satellite's motion.
As of now, the Akatsuki spacecraft, which is a Japanese probe, is currently orbiting Venus. It is studying the atmosphere and weather patterns of Venus. Other past missions, such as the Magellan spacecraft, have also orbited Venus to study its surface features.
The difference is the same as in other contexts.* "Artificial" means that something was created by humans. * "Natural" means that it was NOT created by humans.
The only artificial satellite on Mars is the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been in orbit around the planet since 2006.

The space shuttle Discovery was an artificial satellite, as it was a spacecraft designed and launched by humans to orbit Earth and carry out specific missions, rather than occurring naturally in space.

SputnikThe world's first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957.
because "sputnik" means "fellow traveler of earth"
It was the Russian spacecraft Sputnik in August 1957.
Moon, protectorate, spacecraft...
The first artificial satellite into space was named sputnik and was launched by the USSR. The term "Space Race" actually applies to the race to the moon which was won by the US when the Apollo spacecraft touched down in 1969.
"The first rocket was the Sputnik...." Here we go again... NO It Wasn't! The first Spacecraft with a human to go into space was the Russian Satellite called 'Vostok', or 'Vostok 3KA'. 'Sputink', is the Russian word for 'Satellite', it was NOT the Name of the spacecraft. imagine if every Russian called 'Apollo 18' ... 'Satilite' with a heavy russian accent... DRrr Not. It Also was not the first spacecraft! the Russians launched a bunch of Dogs and crap up there first... there were many spacecrafts that went up before 'Vostok'.
An artificial satellite is a man made object that orbits a planet or a moon.
The term "satellite" refers to an object that revolves around a larger body in space. It can be natural, like the Moon, or artificial, like a man-made spacecraft.
The first Russian spacecraft in space was Sputnik 1, which was launched on October 4, 1957. It was the world's first artificial satellite and marked the beginning of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
