Nowadays, when you gaze up at the night sky you're bound to see at least one satellite cruise by, but what was the name of the first satellite to enter space?
Answer Sputnik
Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October, 4 1957, was the first artificial Earth satellite. The satellite orbited the Earth for three weeks before its batteries died, then it slowly made its way back into the atmosphere.
