The only nations to detonate nuclear weapons in outer space are the United States and the Soviet Union.

Even during the Cuban Missile Crisis!

When did the first atomic bomb touch down?
Atomic bombs don't do that. The closest thing to what you are describing is a "laydown" bomb, a bomb designed to destroy airfield runways using a parachute to put it gently on the ground then detonate it later after a delay of seconds to days. While such atomic bombs have been built and stockpiled, none had ever been used or tested. The nonnuclear "laydown" system was tested by dropping nonnuclear dummy bombs and the atomic bomb to go inside was tested; but entirely separately. In an attack using "laydown" bombs several would be dropped with different delays, so that some exploded very soon after landing causing destruction of the runways, then others would explode at various later times to prevent repairs and harass the repair crews.
