Applications Satellites | National Air and Space Museum In the tense years of the Cold War, applications satellites evolved down two separate paths: one devoted to national security needs, the other to civilian interests
TIROS Meteorological Satellite - National Air and Space Museum TIROS (Television Infrared Observation Satellite) I, launched in April 1960, was the world's first weather satellite TIROS imaged large swaths of the Earth's surface, allowing forecasters and scientists to see directly for the first time the large-scale features of our planet's weather systems
Ariel 1 Satellite - National Air and Space Museum This is a replica of Ariel-1 satellite, the world's first internationally conceived and executed satellite The flight model was designed and built by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and carried six British experiments designed to study the ionosphere and its relationship to solar radiation, including cosmic ray, solar emission and
Telstar and the World of 1962 | National Air and Space Museum Last week, the Museum recognized the 50th anniversary of Telstar, the first “active” satellite (one that can receive a radio signal from a ground station and then immediately re-transmit it to another) and the first technology of any kind that enabled transatlantic television transmissions In 1962, both accomplishments generated intense interest, excitement, and commentary
Three Ways Satellites Help Us Understand Our Environment A decade later, satellite imagery revealed a huge, depleted area of the ozone layer over Antarctica This confirmed scientists' theory and provided startling evidence of human impact on a global scale In 1987, production of these hazardous gases was banned by a unanimous United Nations treaty
Explorer - National Air and Space Museum The satellite is displayed in the Milestones of Flight Gallery at NASM Explorer-1 was the United States' first successful orbiting satellite Following the failure of Vanguard in December 1957, the JPL- ABMA group was permitted to adapt the Jupiter-C reentry test vehicle to carry an instrumented satellite into earth orbit
Applications Technology Satellite, ATS-1 - National Air and Space Museum Visit us in Washington, DC and Chantilly, VA to explore hundreds of the world’s most significant objects in aviation and space history Free timed-entry passes are required for the Museum in DC Launched in 1966, Applications Technology Satellite 1 (ATS 1) was the first in a series of six
Venus | National Air and Space Museum A natural satellite is a naturally occurring object that is in orbit around an object in space of a larger size Earth's natural satellite is the Moon, but many objects in our Solar System have multiple natural satellites
Satellite, Explorer 1, Payload Section - National Air and Space Museum The resulting Explorer 1 satellite was successfully launched and placed into Earth orbit on January 31, 1958 The satellite transmitted data on micrometeorites and cosmic radiation for 105 days Data from this and two subsequent Explorer satellites led to the discovery by James Van Allen of a belt of intense radiation surrounding the Earth
