About this work
Components of the Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS). TIROS spacecraft were the beginning of a long series of polar-orbiting meteorological satellites. TIROS was followed by the TOS (TIROS Operational System) series, and then the ITOS (Improved TIROS Operational System) series, and later the NOAA series. TIROS spacecraft were developed by Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and managed by ESSA (Environmental Science Services Administration). The objective was to establish a global weather satellite system. As described by TIROS Quicklook, from the JPL Mission and Spacecraft Library.
