> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > The first French satellite in orbit, launched in 1965, making France the third space nation after the Soviet Union and the United States. Beg to differ. France may have been the fifth, after the UK and Canada. [From Wikipedia:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alouette_1) > [@](#): > > Alouette 1 is a deactivated Canadian satellite that studied the ionosphere. Launched in 1962, it was Canada’s first satellite, and the first satellite constructed by a country other than the Soviet Union or the United States. Canada was the fourth country to operate a satellite, as the British Ariel 1, constructed in the United States by NASA, preceded Alouette 1 by five months. Sorry for the interruption, but this is the SDMB, after all. 😉 Back to the game. ---
