  skos:definition """The satellites of the SCD (Satelites de Coleta de Dados) series
are equipped to collect and transmit meteorological and
environmental data collected by automatic platforms (PCD)
installed on land or on oceanic buoys. The data is relayed to
one or more ground stations.  The INPE is responsible for
development, production and operation of this series of 4
satellites, the SCD-1, SCD-2, SCD-2A and SCD-3.  SCD-1 was
placed in orbit in February 1993 by a Pegasus and is operating
until today, with a useful life beyond the period, initially
foreseen, of one year. The SCD-2 was launched successfully in
1998, by a Pegasus-H vehicle, from Cape Canaveral. Currently it
operates jointly form with SCD-1. The SCD-2A was lost in the
inaugural launching of the VLS-1, in 1997. SCD 3 is a new
design, which will be launched into a higher orbit to enlarge
the area covered by the satellite.
