65 Years Since the Launch of the World’s First Successful Meteorological Satellite” Commemorating the Legacy of TIROS-1 (1960–2025)
On April 1, 1960, NASA launched TIROS-1 (Television InfraRed Observation Satellite), marking a groundbreaking moment in the history of Earth observation and weather forecasting. As the first successful meteorological satellite, TIROS-1 opened the door to modern remote sensing and global atmospheric monitoring.
In honor of the 65th anniversary, Remote Sensing Letters is launching a Special Issue dedicated to exploring the technological, scientific, and societal impacts of TIROS-1 and its legacy.
We invite high-quality submissions on topics including, but not limited to:
- Historical analysis of the TIROS-1 mission
- Advances in satellite meteorology since 1960
- Evolution of Earth-observing satellite systems
- Remote sensing techniques in weather and climate science
- Contributions of TIROS-1 to modern atmospheric science
