The objective of this program, also called the TIROS Operational System (TOS), was to acquire global observational data routinely on a daily basis. This system consisted of a pair of ESSA satellites in sun-synchronous (polar) orbit. The odd numbered satellites (ESSA-1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) utilized the Advanced Vidicon Camera System (AVCS) to obtain global imagery which were transmitted to the ESSA Command and Data Acquition (CDA) stations at Wallops, Virginia, and Fairbanks, Alaska. The CDA stations relayed the data to the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS), which later became the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), located in Suitland, Maryland, for processing and distribution to forecasting centers of the U.S. and other nations. The even numbered satellites (ESSA-2, 4, 6, and 8) were equipped with Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) TV cameras which transmitted television pictures directly to ground stations worldwide. ----------------- Entry taken from: Rao, P.K., S.J.
