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.
