Is there still anything from the early days of the space-race still in orbit? Or would all of the “early” satellites long since have plummeted back to Earth?
Bonus points for the oldest, still functioning satellite.
Thanks

How about Vanguard I?
Looks like the oldest functional man-made object in space is Pioneer 6. It’s not in Earth orbit, however.
