The Next-generation Television and InfraRed Operational Satellites (TIROS-N, NOAA 6-7)
  • The primary objective of the TIROS-N program was to improve on the capabilities and instrumentation of the TIROS-M operational satellites. These improvements consisted of adding instruments which measured environmental data with much higher resolution than was possible with previous satellites. The TIROS-N program would serve as the third generation of US operational weather satellites.
