About This Item

Sputnik 1

The Sputnik program was a series of robotic spacecraft missions. Sputnik 1 launched the first man-made object to orbit the Earth. That launch took place on October 4, 1957. It demonstrated the viability of using artificial satellites to explore the upper atmosphere. In Eastern Europe, "Sputnik" is a synonyme for satellite.

This was an important part of the development of the GPS system.
