Vanguard 1, launched 1958, remains the oldest manmade satellite still in orbit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanguard_1 (53 mistaken for 58?)

I hope philip sees it as he's asked this on six other threads too and may not remember to check them all.
Perhaps we should start a new thread entitled '100 year Quiz - FAO philip'
