Description When the first U.S. satellite was launched in January 1958, there were many skeptics as to the practical value of the space program. On April 1, 1960, in a little over two years, the world's first Earth observation satellite-TIROS-was successfully orbited, demonstrating for the first time the potential of remote sensing from space to provide direct benefits to mankind. This book covers the principal activities of remote sensing of the atmosphere, the land, and the oceans from space.
