**Preface to the 2007 revision**

The original *Bibliography* was prepared to mark the 40^th^ anniversary
of the launch of TIROS I, the world\'s first weather satellite, in April
2000. This *Bibliography*, revised and enlarged as of January 2007,
includes selected, unique, printed and online resources on TIROS, other
meteorological satellites, and satellite meteorology from NOAA Central
Library's collection. This revised document also provides full-text
access to some of the listed items and has been enhanced with the
addition of a section of Internet resources. It is published online
under LISD Current Reference Series 2006-2.

**I. Introduction**

TIROS I - Television Infrared Observation Satellite I was launched on
April 1, 1960 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The main objective of the
TIROS program was to demonstrate the feasibility and capability of
observing the Earth\'s cloud cover and weather patterns from space.
Although the program was experimental, this first space-borne system
demonstrated the capability to acquire information which meteorologists
could use immediately in an operational setting.

TIROS I was the world\'s first weather satellite to test the
experimental television techniques leading to a world-wide
meteorological satellite information system. It also was the first
satellite to test sun angle and horizon sensor systems for spacecraft
orientation. There were several participating agencies in the test,
including: NASA, the US ARMY Signal Research and Development Lab, the US
Weather Bureau, RCA, and the US Naval Photographic Interpretation
Center.

TIROS I launch at Cape Canaveral

The spacecraft was 42 inches in diameter, 19 inches high and weighed 270
pounds. The craft was made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel covered
by 9200 solar cells. The solar cells served to charge the nickel-cadmium
(nicad) batteries. Three pairs of solid-propellant spin rockets were
mounted on the base plate. Two television cameras were housed in the
craft, one low resolution and one high resolution. A magnetic tape
recorder for each camera was supplied for storing photographs while the
satellite was out of range of the ground station network. The antennas
consisted of four rods from the base plate to serve as transmitters and
one vertical rod from the center of the top plate to serve as a
receiver. The craft was spin-stabilized and space oriented (not
Earth-oriented). Therefore, the cameras were only operated while they
were pointing at the Earth when that portion of the Earth was in
sunlight. The video systems relayed thousands of pictures containing
cloud-cover views of the Earth. Early photographs provided information
concerning the structure of large-scale cloud regimes.

TIROS I was operational for only 78 days, but proved that satellites
could be a useful tool for surveying global weather conditions from
space. It was followed by nine more test satellites launched between
November 23, 1960 (TIROS II) and July 2, 1965 (TIROS X) to provide
routine, daily weather observations. For more information on TIROS
satellites, please consult the TIROS satellite index page developed by
the Dept. of Meteorology, Florida State University. \[1\]

###### First picture from Space - TIROS I satellite, April 1, 1960

"Since those first exciting days, satellite systems have become an
intrinsic part of weather forecasting, oceanography, terrestrial
mapping, and hazard detection. NESDIS and its ancestor organizations
have processed, interpreted, and archived millions of satellite images
that were acquired by those early systems and the thirty or so NOAA
owned and operated satellites that have done so much to protect and warn
the citizens of the United States." \[2\]

To view the a pictorial history of TIROS and other NOAA satellites
consult the NOAA in Space album of images at:
<http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/space/index.html>

"Today, the nation\'s [environmental
satellites](http://www.oso.noaa.gov/news/2000-29-03.htm) are operated by
NOAA\'s [National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
in Suitland, MD](http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/). NOAA\'s environmental
satellite system is composed of two types of satellites: [geostationary
operational environmental satellites](http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/) for
national, regional, short-range warning and now-casting; and
[polar-orbiting environmental satellites](http://poes2.gsfc.nasa.gov/)
for global, long-term forecasting and environmental monitoring. Both
GOES and POES are necessary for providing a complete global weather
monitoring system. Both also carry [search and rescue
instruments](http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/) to relay signals from aviators
and mariners in distress."\[3\]
