Answer 1

No, satellites were introduced in the 1950's. Back in the 1930's, people used radar and other sources to try to predict weather, although the process was not as accurate as to was is used today. But for the most part, people used radar and transmission radios for contacting other people at different sources.

Early in October 1957, communications stations started picking up a regular beeping noise coming from space.
The signals were coming from Russia's Sputnik 1, the world's first man-made satellite. The launch of Sputnik caused a panic in Washington, as the USA realized how far it had fallen behind in the space race. The worries deepened three months later, when a Vanguard rocket with America's first satellite exploded two seconds after ignition.
It was January 1958 before a Jupiter rocket successfully launched Explorer 1, the first American satellite.

Answer 2

No. Sputnik was the first earth-orbiting satellite of any kind, and it wasn't launched until 1957. The first weather satellite I believe was TIROS, a US satellite in the early 1960s.

Also, it's wrong to say that satellites "weren't even thought of" in the 1930s. They were definitely "thought of" in that era, even well before then. However, the capability of launching them took until much later obviously, with rocket propulsion necessary to get one high enough and fast enough to stay in orbit.

Answer 3

The first satellites were launched in the 1950s, so no.

Answer 4

nope,'cause sattelites weren't even thought of yet.
