- 65cb3e7c-d4d8-46df-a5fc-aec63e58e8df definition "Path = ['Earth Observation Satellites', 'Space-based Platforms', 'Platforms'] The world's first operational weather satellite system was placed into service with the launching of the Environmental Science Services Administration (which in 1970 became the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA) satellites, ESSA-1, on February 3, 1966, and ESSA-2, on February 28, 1966. The objective of this program, also called the TIROS Operational System (TOS), was to acquire global observational data routinely on a daily basis. This system consisted of a pair of ESSA satellites in sun-synchronous (polar) orbit. The odd numbered satellites (ESSA-1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) utilized the Advanced Vidicon Camera System (AVCS) to obtain global imagery which were transmitted to the ESSA Command and Data Acquition (CDA) stations at Wallops, Virginia, and Fairbanks, Alaska. The CDA stations relayed the data to the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS), which later became the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), located in Suitland, Maryland, for processing and distribution to forecasting centers of the U.S. and other nations. The even numbered satellites (ESSA-2, 4, 6, and 8) were equipped with Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) TV cameras which transmitted television pictures directly to ground stations worldwide. ----------------- Entry taken from: Rao, P.K., S.J.
