Sputnik 1, launched by the Soviet Union in 1957, did not make scientific discoveries in the traditional sense, as it was primarily a technological demonstration. However, it provided critical data on the Earth's atmosphere, including information about the density of the upper atmosphere and the behavior of radio waves. Its successful transmission of radio signals marked the beginning of the space age and demonstrated the feasibility of satellite communications, paving the way for future space exploration and satellite technology.
