"The launch of Sputnik 1 shocked the world, particularly the United States, and spurred advancements in science and technology, including the creation of NASA.
Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, was the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth. This event marked the start of the Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union. Sputnik 1 was about the size of a beach ball and transmitted radio signals back to Earth."
