Apsis
An apsis is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body.
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) is an installation of the United States Space Force's Space Launch Delta 45, located on Cape Canaveral in Brevard County, Florida.
See TIROS-3 and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 17
Space Launch Complex 17 (SLC-17), previously designated Launch Complex 17 (LC-17), was a launch site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Florida used for Thor and Delta launch vehicles launches between 1958 and 2011.
See TIROS-3 and Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 17
Florida
Florida is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States.
Florida State University
Florida State University (FSU or, more commonly, Florida State) is a public research university in Tallahassee, Florida, United States.
See TIROS-3 and Florida State University
Geocentric orbit
A geocentric orbit, Earth-centered orbit, or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites.
See TIROS-3 and Geocentric orbit
Goddard Space Flight Center
The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is a major NASA space research laboratory located approximately northeast of Washington, D.C. in Greenbelt, Maryland, United States.

Hurricane Anna (1961)
Hurricane Anna impacted Central America and the Windward Islands in July 1961.
See TIROS-3 and Hurricane Anna (1961)
Hurricane Esther
Hurricane Esther was the first large tropical cyclone to be discovered by satellite imagery.
See TIROS-3 and Hurricane Esther
Low Earth orbit
A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with a period of 128 minutes or less (making at least 11.25 orbits per day) and an eccentricity less than 0.25.
See TIROS-3 and Low Earth orbit
NASA
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research.
See TIROS-3 and NASA
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (abbreviated as NOAA) is a US scientific and regulatory agency charged with forecasting weather, monitoring oceanic and atmospheric conditions, charting the seas, conducting deep-sea exploration, and managing fishing and protection of marine mammals and endangered species in the US exclusive economic zone.
See TIROS-3 and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Professional video camera
A professional video camera (often called a television camera even though its use has spread beyond television) is a high-end device for creating electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that earlier recorded the images on film).
See TIROS-3 and Professional video camera
Revolutions per minute
Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min−1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines.
See TIROS-3 and Revolutions per minute
Solar cell
A solar cell or photovoltaic cell (PV cell) is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect.
Television Infrared Observation Satellite
Television InfraRed Observation Satellite (TIROS) is a series of early weather satellites launched by the United States, beginning with TIROS-1 in 1960. TIROS-3 and Television Infrared Observation Satellite are television Infrared Observation Satellites.
See TIROS-3 and Television Infrared Observation Satellite
Thor-Delta
The Thor-Delta, also known as Delta DM-19 or just Delta was an early American expendable launch system used for 12 orbital launches in the early 1960s.
TIROS-2
TIROS-2 (or TIROS-B) was a spin-stabilized meteorological satellite. TIROS-3 and TIROS-2 are television Infrared Observation Satellites and weather satellites of the United States.
TIROS-4
TIROS-4 (also called TIROS-D and A9) was a spin-stabilized meteorological satellite. TIROS-3 and TIROS-4 are television Infrared Observation Satellites and weather satellites of the United States.
Weather satellite
A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth.
