The first rocket which actually launched something into space was used to launch Sputnik, the first satellite, on October 4, 1957 b Russia.The rocket that launched Sputnik was a R-7 ICBM rocket. The satellite was carrying a dog named Laika on board.
Laika survived in space for seven days before being put to sleep before the oxygen supply ran out.
