When was satellite communication invented?

Answer 1

In 1957 when the Russians sent up the first earth orbiting satellite, Sputnik.

It sent out a radio signal which was nothing more than a beeping sound spaced about a second apart, if my memory serves me correctly. People all over the world tracked the beeps, which seemed to have not contained any data at that time. More than likely, it was just a tracking signal.

I remember as a youg boy getting up around 4 am to see it as it flew over. It was just a bright but tiny dot moving across the night sky. Kinda scary at the time, but look what it started.
