Fifty Years Ago, the First Weather Satellite Took This Photo

Andy Towle April 2, 2010

Tiros  

NOAA and NASA yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the first weather satellite: 

"The first image from the satellite, known as TIROS-1 (Television Infrared Observation Satellite), was a fuzzy picture of thick bands and clusters of clouds over the United States. An image captured a few days later revealed a typhoon about a 1,000 miles east of Australia. TIROS-1, a polar-orbiting satellite, weighed 270 pounds and carried two cameras and two video recorders. Though the satellite only lasted 78 days, its impact is still visible today."
