History of Space Exploration; Part 1
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth, thus igniting the “space race.” However, compared to today’s standards, the mission was short-lived, as USSR on received radio signals from the craft for a little over three weeks before the transmitter batteries died out. Three months from its launch, on January 4, 1958, Sputnik re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere, burning up in the process.
