  skos:definition """NOAA-6 was launched in June 1979 and was a third generation
operational meteorological satellite for use in the National
Operational Environmental Satellite System (NOESS) and for the support
of the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) during 1978-84.  The
satellite design provided an economical and stable sun-synchronous
platform for advanced operational instruments to measure the earth's
atmosphere, its surface and cloud cover, and the near-space
environment.  The satellite was based upon the Block 5D spacecraft bus
developed for the U.S. Air Force, and it was capable of maintaining an
earth-pointing accuracy of better than plus or minus 0.1 degree with a
motion rate of less than 0.035 degree/second.
Primary sensors included an Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
(AVHRR) and a TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS). Secondary
experiments consisted of a Space Environment Monitor (SEM) and a Data
Collection and Platform Location System (DCPLS). In early 1984, only
one to two NOAA-6 passes were taken per day due to priorities for
NOAA-7 and 8 data.  However, when NOAA-8 failed in late June 1984,
NOAA-6 was returned to full operational status to continue to provide
morning orbit operational data.
