SPUTNIX 1 was the 1st artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union on 4 Oct 1957, during the International Geophysical Year. It travelled at 29,000km (18,000 mph), taking 96.2 minutes to complete a full orbit of the Earth. It emitted radio signals at 20.005 and 40.002MHz which were monitored by amateur radio operators throughout the world. These signals continued for 22 days until the transmitter batteries ran out on 26 Oct 1957. SPUTNIX 1 burned up on 4 Jan 1958 as it fell from orbit, re-entering the Earth's atmosphere - after travelling 60 million km (37 million miles) and spending 3 months in orbit!
