The name of the second satellite can vary depending on the context. It could be any specific satellite's name, such as "Hubble Space Telescope," "GPS satellite," or "ISS (International Space Station) satellite."
One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that an artificial satellite typically orbits a celestial body, such as Earth, while a space probe is designed to travel through space to explore other celestial bodies.
The first artificial satellite in space was Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. It marked the beginning of the space age and the dawn of satellite technology.
