The modified ITOS Spacecraft system will become operational in mid-1972, with the launch of ITOS-D. The spacecraft, though similar in outward appearance to previous ones in this series, will contain new sensors. Cameras are no longer a part of the sensor complement; a Very High Resolution Radiometer and Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer will be flown for the first time. General information about the spacecraft, its orbit and its sensor complement is presented. Specific details on the real time data links are included for those planning to receive these data from the spacecraft. The direct transmission of sensor data for local acquisition worldwide will continue. A letter sent to the World Meteorological Organization defines plans for these transmissions. (Author)
