In April 1958, following President Eisenhower's announcement to create National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Defense founded the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), which began to develop a meteorological satellite, before NASA took over its cruising speed. After a historic meeting at the Pentagon, ARPA formed a committee chaired by William Kellogg to define the content of the payload of future satellites. Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) was finally transferred to NASA in early 1959. Tiros‐8 was equipped with automatic picture transmission, real‐time image broadcasting, which allowed many meteorological services to receive the images. In the USSR, the development of the first meteorological satellites was initiated at the request of the military who, during the Cold War, sought to know meteorological conditions across the entire planet for their intercontinental bombers and their war fleet. As far as geostationary satellites are concerned, GOMS‐1 was the first Russian experimental satellite.
