Which was the name of the first created and sent satellite in orbit?

Answer 1

Seriously, just spend 20 seconds looking this up on the internet directly.

Answer 2

Sputnik 1 was the first artificial satellite to be put into geocentric orbit. The satellite helped to identify the density of high atmospheric layers by its orbit change and provided data on radio-signal distribution in the ionosphere. Because the satellite's body was filled with pressurized nitrogen, Sputnik 1 also provided the first opportunity for meteoroid detection as losses in internal pressure due to meteoroid penetration of the outer surface would have been evident in the temperature data. Sputnik 1 pioneered Soviet Sputnik program and ignited the so-called Space Race within the Cold War.

Sputnik-1 was set in motion during the International Geophysical Year from the 5th Tyuratam range in Kazakh SSR (now Baikonur Cosmodrome). The satellite travelled at 29000 kilometers (18000 mi) per hour according to Soviet calculations and emitted radio signals at around 20.005 and 40.002 MHz[1] which were received by scientists and ham radio operators throughout the world. The signals continued until the transmitter batteries ran out on October 26, 1957.[2] Sputnik 1 burned as it fell from orbit upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, after about 60 million km, made while orbiting.

Answer 3

The first satellite was Sputnik 1, launched by the USSR. It was launched on on October 4, 1957. Sputnik 1 was about the size of a basketball, weighing roughly 183 pounds. It was sent into an elliptical orbit around the Earth, revolving in about 98 minutes.
