First Satellite in space!
The space age began on October 4, 1957, when Sputnik 1 was launched as the first satellite ever by humans. Sputnik's 1957 launch demonstrated, the Soviet Union's technical superiority in a brand-new field, as well as the size and strength of its large-missile research and development efforts.
This leadership lasted into the human spaceflight period, and it continued in the groundbreaking era of space vehicles and space stations, by utilizing a basic, but smart approach to technology.
