Exactly this question was today raised and answered. :-)
It is related via old Slavonic roots,
both about the journey.
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=sputnik
sputnik (n.) Look up sputnik at Dictionary.com
"artificial satellite," extended from the name of the one launched
by the Soviet Union Oct. 4, 1957, from Russian sputnik "satellite,"
literally "traveling companion" (in this use short for sputnik zemlyi,
"traveling companion of the Earth") from Old Church Slavonic supotiniku,
from Russian so-, s- "with, together" + put' "path, way," from Old
Church Slavonic poti, from PIE *pent- "to tread, go" (see find (v.)) +
agent suffix -nik.

Poutnik ( the Czech word for a wanderer )
Knowledge makes great men humble, but small men arrogant.
