Geological | The POES system began in 1960 with the launch of TIROS-1. Later satellites in the Improved TIROS Operational Satellite (ITOS) program were expanded to capture concurrent multiple-channel data on a daily basis. Currently the Advanced TIROS-N satellites (renamed NOAA-6, 7, 8, etc., after launch) offer 4 or 5 channel multispectral daily repetitive global coverage. (Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellite). (references) |
Science | Operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, they are designated 'NOAA satellites.' Included in this group are the current series of TIROS-N satellites, the third-generation polar-orbiting environmental spacecraft operated by NOAA.
