It was the first satellite designed to observe clouds from space and is the precursor to dozens of meteorological operational and research satellites. TIROS only lasted 3 months, but it made 1,392 orbits and took nearly 23,000 pictures. The NASA Goddard Library has a rare and unique collection of 26 bound volumes of TIROS 1 photography prepared by the Navy in 1961 specifically for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This talk will highlight the collection, attempts contemplated to preserve it, and revelations that the &#8220;first&#8221; image from TIROS, widely distributed around the internet (and even by NOAA and NASA), was not the first photo, nor even taken on the first day of operations!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NASA Goddard Library TIROS-1 Photographic Atlas Collection of Weather Photos from Space and the &#8220;First&#8221; Weather Image 91st American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting Wednesday, 26 January 2011: 4:15 PM 304 (Washington State Convention Center) Gene Major, Library Associates, NASA\/GSFC Library, Lanham, MD TIROS 1, the Television Infra-Red Observation Satellite, was launched 50 years ago &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/?p=260\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Technoarchaeology: Where is the True &#8220;First&#8221; Picture taken by Tiros 1?&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,36,54,56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-earth-imagery","category-image-hacks","category-technoarchaeology","category-tiros"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonviews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
