Launched October 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 was the first craft in orbit around the earth. Named from the Russian phrase for "traveling companion of the world" (Sputnik Zemli), it was a small s0ellite measuring only 59 sm across. It circled the earth once 96,2 minutes and transmitted information about the earth's atmosphere. After 57 days space, it re-entered the atmosphere and was destroyed.

In the next three decades, hundreds of probes, satellites, and other missions were to follow Sputnik on the question to explore both the wonders and the practical potential of space.
