For the benefit of potential data users, this technical memorandum briefly describes the Improved TIROS Operational Spacecraft. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the spacecraft which directly influence its data acquisition capabilities. The sensors of this spacecraft will provide both full photographic coverage of the illuminated portions of the earth - as is currently provided by the TOS (TIROS Operational Satellite) system - and global radiating surface temperature measurements by means of infrared radiometry.
