The TIPOS Operational Sate1lite (TOS) Program is a joint effort by NASA and the Department of Commerce to provide systematic, global, cloud-cover observations. Governed by a NASA-Commerce agreement, dated 2 July 1973, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is responsible for establishing the requirements for and operating the system, and NASA is responsible for developing the spacecraft and associated ground stations, for launching the spacecraft, and for ensuring the successful operation of the spacecraft. The TOS Program consists of a first series of spacecraft (ESSA-1 through 9), now all launched, which included four Advanced Vidicon Camera System (AVCS) versions for remote global cloud-cover imaging and five Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) versions for local-area coverage.
