TIROS-N satellite is the first of the TIROS-N series. It is a weather satellite launched in October 13, 1978.^[1] It was designed to become operational in 2 years. Its mass is 734 kilograms.^[1] Its perigee to Earth is 829 kilometers. Its apogee is 845 kilometers away from Earth. Its inclination is 98.70 degrees. It is engaged in practical uses. It was managed by NOAA; designed and launched by NASA. The spacecraft were 3-axis stabilized.^[1] TIROS-N was operated for 868 days until deactivated by NOAA on February 27, 1981.^[2]
