definition
  • NOAA-8 was launched in March 1983 and was a third-generation operational meteorological satellite for use in the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) of NOAA. NOAA-8 was the first spacecraft of the advanced TIROS-N (ATN) series. 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). A Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) system was also included on NOAA-8. Although designed for a 2-year life span, NOAA-8 experienced a premature failure in June 1984. __________ Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).
