Weather Satellites
A new era in weather forecasting began on April 1, 1960, when the first weather satellite, TIROS-1, went into orbit. TIROS-1, which stands for Television Infrared Observation Satellite, was launched by NASA from Cape Canaveral, Florida. TIROS-1 was mostly an orbiting television camera, recording and sending back images. It gave meteorologists their first detailed look at clouds from above. With images from TIROS-1, they could track hurricanes and other cyclones moving across the globe.
