US Earth Observation Satellites

The USA is the world’s most powerful country in terms of aerospace technology. Since 1960 when it launched its first Earth observation satellite, TIROS, which was intended for television infrared observation, the country has made a great progress in Earth observation technology. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) planned to use the satellite to determine whether Earth observation technology could be used to study Earth. Because meteorological satellites have prospects for widespread applications in weather forecasting and disaster warning, the USA initially focused on the development of meteorological satellites.
