Who discovered artificial satellite?
The Moon is the natural satellite of the Earth, so the person who discovered it was probably Ugghhh, the First Caveman. Artificial satellites weren't developed until the 1950's, and so the "discoverer" was one of the Soviet engineers who launched the first Sputnik, the first artificial satellite of the Earth. Other planets have their own satellites. Galileo is credited as discovering the four largest satellites of Jupiter in January, 1610, when he pointed his new telescope at Jupiter.
