Sputnik-1, launched on October 4, 1957, was the first artificial satellite of the Earth. Crafted by the Soviet Union, it orbited the planet every 96 minutes, signaling the beginning of the space age. Beyond its physical presence in the cosmos, Sputnik-1 emitted a distinctive radio signal, commonly known as "the Beep". This simple but iconic signal served as a tangible demonstration of Soviet technological progress and triggered a worldwide fascination with space exploration. The steady "Beep" of Sputnik-1 echoed across the globe, symbolizing the boundless possibilities of human ingenuity and inspiring generations to reach for the stars.
