update Definition (NOAA-1 (ITOS-1) was launched in December 1970 and the primary
objective of the sun-synchronous meteorological satellite was to
provide improved operational infrared and visual observations of earth
cloud cover for use in weather analysis and forecasting.  Secondary
objectives included providing solar proton and global heat balance
data on a regular daily basis.  The nearly cubical spacecraft measured
1 by 1 by 1.2 m. The TV cameras and infrared sensors were mounted on
the satellite baseplate with their optical axes directed vertically
earthward. The spacecraft was equipped with three curved solar panels
that were folded during launch and deployed after orbit was
achieved. Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and
was covered with 3420 solar cells, each measuring 2 by 2 cm. The
attitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientation
through gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellite
design. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained by
taking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel so
that the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbit
provided the desired 'earth looking' attitude. Minor adjustments in
attitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and by
varying the speed of the momentum flywheel.
This spacecraft carried four cameras; two television cameras for
Automatic Picture Transmission (APT), and two Advanced Vidicon Camera
System (AVCS) cameras.  The satellite also carried a low-resolution
flat plate radiometer, a solar proton monitor, and two scanning
radiometers that not only measured emitted IR radiation but also
served as a backup system for the onboard cameras.  Launched into a
near-polar orbit, the spacecraft and its subsystems performed normally
until May 29, 1971 when the incremental tape recorder failed,
resulting in partial loss of solar proton data and total loss of flat
plate radiometer data. The APT and Direct Readout Infrared (DRIR)
subsystems were turned off on June 20, 1971 in an attempt to reduce
the above normal temperature due to overheating in the attitude
control system. The AVCS was turned off shortly thereafter, and the
scanning radiometer continued partial operations until the spacecraft
was deactivated on August 19, 1971.
