TIROS-TIROS II-------
The video systems relayed thousands
of pictures containing cloud-cover views of the Earth. Early
photographs provided information concerning the structure of
large-scale cloud regimes. In addition, the experiment to partially
control the orientation of the satellite spin axis was successful,
as was the experiment with infrared sensors.
TIROS II was operational for 376 days.
