Was earlier satellite technology digital technology?

Answer:
A communications satellite is an artificial satellite stationed in space for the purpose of telecommunications. The first satellite launched was the Sputnik I and it weighted about 180 pounds. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments and it was not digital at all. Analog was the stile back then.
