What is the use for the Sputnik 1?
a radio transmiter
What was the purpose of sputnik 1?
Sputnik was also scientifically valuable. The density of the upper atmosphere could be deduced from its drag on the orbit, and the propagation of its radio signals gave information about the ionosphere.
What information did Sputnik gather?
None directly as it had no instruments onboard to gather information. The only equipment built into Sputnik was a simple radio transmitter that sent out a regular periodic beep signal. Some information was gathered indirectly on the ground by tracking Sputnik on RADAR.
What did Russia do that sparked the race to conquer space?
The USSR launched the worlds first artificial satellite Sputnik. Sputnik broadcast a radio beacon as it orbited the earth, effectively rubbing the fact that they got there 1st into the Yanks faces.
Was sputnik manned?
No, the Russian's Sputnik was unmanned.
Why did Sputnik 1 need a radio transmitter?
SputnikSo they knew where sputnik was.

What did sputnik do while in orbit?
Sputnik was a very simple satellite. It emitted a radio signal that was received by Russia radio observers on the ground. This pinpointed its speed, altitude, and elliptical path. Spudnik was in a very low orbit however, and after a few months it reentered the earth's atmosphere and was destroyed. The sputnik was a satellite that produced signals so that we could receive and extract information via web and radio. So the next time we use the internet or turn on the radio, we should remember THE SPUTNIK.
Was sputnik a communications satellite?
Not as we know them today. Sputnik 1 sent a radio beep, but that was about it. It couldn't relay information as current communications satellites do.
What equipment was used in sputnik 1?
Sputnik I was simplicity itself - it's only onboard "equipment" was an electronic radio "beep" received back on earth.

How does sputnik affect the people around it?
Not much. It wasn't radioactive, it couldn't do much but beep on a radio frequency.
What was the first satellite launcnd?
The first satellite launched into space was Sputnik. It was launched on October 4, 1957 by the Soviets. Sputnik was launched into space and transmitted information via radio signals to Soviet scientists for three weeks.
What did Russia do that sparked the race to conquer space?
The USSR launched the worlds first artificial satellite Sputnik. Sputnik broadcast a radio beacon as it orbited the earth, effectively rubbing the fact that they got there 1st into the Yanks faces.
What was on the sputnik ships?
Essentially it was an orbiting satellite with a radio signal to let everyone else know the russians had got into space first.
Why was there not a sputnik 4?
Because the Sputnik program ended with Sputnik 3. Albeit there was a Sputnik 40 and 41 but these were to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sputnik 1.
