Explorer 1 entered orbital decay [See related link] on March 31, 1970
The second satellite to be sent into Earth orbit was "Sputnik 2".
The first US spacecraft to enter into an orbit around a planet other than the moon was Mariner 2, which orbited Venus in 1962.

Mercury's mass = 0.055 x Earths, Volume = 0.056 x Earths Mars' mass = 0.1075 x Earths, Volume = 0.151 x Earths Venus' mass = 0.815 x Earths, Volume = 0.857 x Earths (Earth) mass = 1 x Earths, Volume = 1 x Earths Uranus' mass = 14.536 x Earths, Volume = 63.086 x Earths Neptune's mass = 17.147 x Earths, Volume = 57.74 x Earths Saturn's mass = 95.152 x Earths, Volume = 763.59 x Earths Jupiter's mass = 317.8 x Earths, Volume = 1321.3 x Earths
Explorer 1 was in orbit for 111 days after launch on January 2 1958. I make that to be May 4, 1958.

Explorer 1 was the first American satellite launched into orbit.
The second satellite to be sent into Earth orbit was "Sputnik 2".
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
After a number of failures, Explorer-I was the first artificial satellite orbited successfully by the USA. It was launched on February 1, 1958.
yes explorer 1 was the artificial satellite and after it was launched the United States became the second country to send a satellite in orbit
Explorer 1 (1958 Alpha 1) was the first Earth satellite of the US.
The first satellite put into orbit by the U.S. was called Explorer 1.
voyager Explorer 1 was the first US satellite to orbit the earth. It was proceeded by two Soviet Sputnik satellites.
About 250 times greater than it is at the moment, or about the size of Earths orbit. 1 AU.
The first US spacecraft to enter into an orbit around a planet other than the moon was Mariner 2, which orbited Venus in 1962.
