TIROS-N
TIROS-N was an experimental weather-satellite mission that introduced higher-resolution day-and-night environmental observations for the TIROS-N/NOAA operational series. Its AVHRR, TOVS and solar proton monitor supported cloud, sea-surface, ice, snow, temperature, moisture and space-weather observations, while a data-collection platform relayed measurements from balloons and buoys worldwide.
