The '''first orbital''' flight of an artificial satellite, [[Sputnik 1]], was launched in October 1957, by the [[Soviet Union]]. In November, the second orbital flight took place. The Soviet Union launched the [[Sputnik 2|first animal to orbit]] the [[Earth]], a dog, [[Laika]], who died in orbit a few hours after launch.

* Thor, Atlas, and R-7 rocket families all have maiden flights this year, all three of which will have long legacies for over 50 years.
* Australia and the UK go to space with sounding rockets; first space launches from Australia.
* The R-12 makes its maiden flight.
* The US makes its first orbital attempt and fails (Vanguard TV-3).
