In the year 1960, the Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS 1), was introduced, and the era of the weather satellite commenced.

Formulated by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), with no one individual getting specific praise for the satellite, this program productively rolled out TIROS 1 on April 1, 1960, and the satellite started accumulating facts from space and offering up precise meteorological estimations to the United States.
