Il nome è stato dato per il mercato estero e fa riferimento al primo satellite artificiale a essere mandato in orbita intorno alla Terra, nel 1957, durante gli anni della Guerra Fredda tra Usa e Urss, che segnò la prima vittoria nella corsa alla conquista dello Spazio di Mosca

Già a fine luglio, però, la comunità scientifica e le autorità sanitarie internazionali avevano invitato alla cautela, si teme che Mosca abbia bruciato le tappe sacrificando sicurezza ed efficacia del prodotto pur di registrare per prima il vaccino

Intanto la Russia ha annunciato anche di aver creato anche un sito web ufficiale per "diffondere informazioni dettagliate e aggiornate su Sputnik V e per combattere la campagna di disinformazione sul vaccino russo, diffusa da diversi media internazionali"

Le agenzie riportano che il nome Sputnik, che significa "compagno di viaggio" o "satellite", è stato scelto con l'auspicio che "come nel 1957 il satellite sovietico accelerò l'interesse mondiale per la ricerca spaziale, così faccia oggi il vaccino russo"

Per quanto riguarda la sfida tra Urss e Usa per la conquista dello Spazio, per alcuni anni a dominare è stata Mosca. Nel 1959, per esempio, l'Urss inviò per prima un manufatto sulla Luna e nel 1954 fu la prima a mandare animali nello Spazio
