Welcome to /"The First Thing/"! Did you know that once upon a time, in 1957, there was a visionary team of Soviet scientists and engineers who dreamed of launching a man-made object into space? This idea led to the creation of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1. On October 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, marking a milestone in space exploration and sparking the space race. This pioneering satellite, a metal sphere with four external radio antennas, transmitted radio pulses to Earth, providing valuable data and demonstrating the feasibility of sending objects into orbit. Over the decades, satellite technology has evolved, revolutionizing communications, navigation, weather forecasting and scientific research. Thanks to the revolutionary work of the Soviet team, artificial satellites continue to orbit our planet, transforming the way we connect, explore and understand the universe.
