This page contains philatelic information on the Sputnik-1 satellite. Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the satellites featured are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
Sputnik-1 was launched by the USSR on 4 October 1957. It was the first artificial Earth-orbiting satellite; its launch marks the beginning of the modern space era. The importance of Sputnik-1 was therefore primarily geopolitical: the USA replied with the launch of Explorer-1 on 31 January 1958. The "Space Race" which began with these two satellites would in the following years result in many scientific and technological advances. Although Sputnik-1 was not a scientific satellite per se (it carried no measurement instruments or scientific experiments or remote sensing observing equipment), it was of course built on scientific foundations that included rocketry, communications, materials science and engineering. The behavior of the radio signals emitted by Sputnik-1 provided some information about the ionosphere. As it revolved in its elliptical orbit around the Earth, initially at levels from 228 km to 945 km, its orbit degraded gradually due to the drag induced by the very thin atmosphere. Sputnik-1 remained in orbit for only about three months and burned up in the lower atmosphere on 4 January 1958. The observed rate of orbital degradation was used to make estimates of the density of the upper atmosphere.
Items showing a combination of Sputnik-1, 2, and 3 depictions are highlighted in yellow on all three pages.
Items showing an incorrectly-depicted Sputnik-1 with radial antennas are highlighted in green.

1Known fake cover, with a made-up Baikonur postmark, suspected to have been created by Boris Khoroshev from Moscow, and sold by a stamp dealer in Western Europe. There were no Baikonur Cosmodrome official postmarks until 1975 for the Apollo-Soyuz events. Reference the article written by Russian collector Oleg Vaisberg published as an Appendix called "Russian (Soviet) Space Covers" to Bruce Cranford's book Space Covers: Dictionary and Identifier. See also, an analysis of the situation in a book published in 2008 called Commemorative Space Covers from Collector Clubs of the Soviet Union, 1957 to 1980. Another indicator on these fakes is the use of a "first day" cachet that appears on most, but not all, of these fakes.
