About: ATS-1

An Entity of Type: Weather satellite, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

ATS-1 (Applications Technology Satellite 1) was the first experimental geostationary satellite, launched in 1966. Though intended as a communications satellite rather than as a weather satellite, it carried the Spin Scan Cloud Camera developed by Verner E. Suomi and at the University of Wisconsin. After entering an orbit at 23,000 mi (37,000 km) above Earth, initially in orbit over Ecuador, it transmitted weather images from the Western Hemisphere, as well as other data, to ground stations, including well as video feeds for television broadcasting. It took one of the first pictures of the Earth's full-disk (the first from a geostationary orbit), on December 11, 1966.

  • ATS-1 (Applications Technology Satellite 1) was the first experimental geostationary satellite, launched in 1966. Though intended as a communications satellite rather than as a weather satellite, it carried the Spin Scan Cloud Camera developed by Verner E. Suomi and at the University of Wisconsin. After entering an orbit at 23,000 mi (37,000 km) above Earth, initially in orbit over Ecuador, it transmitted weather images from the Western Hemisphere, as well as other data, to ground stations, including well as video feeds for television broadcasting. It took one of the first pictures of the Earth's full-disk (the first from a geostationary orbit), on December 11, 1966. "For the first time," historians would note later, "rapid-imaging of nearly an entire hemisphere was possible. We could watch, fascinated, as storm systems developed and moved and were captured in a time series of images. Today such images are an indispensable part of weather analysis and forecasting." It was the first satellite to use frequency-division multiple access which accepted multiple independent signals and downlinked them in a single carrier. The spacecraft measured 56 inches (1,400 mm) in diameter, 57 inches (1,400 mm) high and weighed 750 lb (340 kg). The ATS-1 satellite was used during the 1967 international television broadcast Our World, providing a link between the United States and Australia during the program. The ATS-1 would remain operational for more than 18 years, until April, 1985. (en)

  • ATS 1 (Applications Technology Satellite 1) fue un satélite artificial estadounidense dedicado a probar nuevas tecnologías. Fue lanzado el 7 de diciembre de 1966 y durante sus 18 años de vida el satélite probó técnicas de estabilización mediante giro, investigó el ambiente geoestacionario y realizó varios experimentos de comunicaciones. Mediante el experimento de VHF comprobó la posibilidad de actuar como enlace entre estaciones de tierra y aeronaves, demostró la obtención de datos meteorológicos desde terminales remotos y evaluó la posibilidad de utilizar señales VHF como método de navegación. ATS 1 transmitió programas educativos y proporcionó servicios sanitarios, de investigación y comunitarios a los Estados Unidos y varias islas del océano Pacífico, incluyendo la isla Cook, Mariana, las islas Marshall, islas Carolinas, Samoa, Melanesia, Nueva Zelanda y Australia. El satélite también proporcionó las primeras imágenes completas de la cubierta de nubes de la Tierra. El satélite estaba estabilizado mediante giro y tenía una estructura de aluminio recubierta de células solares que proporcionaban 180 vatios de potencia. Llevaba baterías de níquel-cadmio con una capacidad de 12 amperios-hora, un sistema de mantenimiento de la posición mediante hidracina, dos sensores solares y dos acelerómetros. La carga útil incluía detectores de iones, espectrómetros, una cámara, un experimento de comunicaciones en banda C (usado para las emisiones internacionales de televisión) y un sistema de comunicaciones mediante VHF.
