Beskrivning : These were a series of reconfigured ITOS (Improved Tiros Operational Satellite) satellites launched with new meteorological sensors onboard to expand the operational capability of the ITOS system. NOAA was not equipped with conventional TV cameras. It was the first operational weather satellite to rely solely upon radiometric imaging to obtain cloudcover data. The primary objective of NOAA was to provide global daytime and nighttime direct readout real-time cloudcover data on a daily basis.
