Instruments: AVHRR, TOVS (HIRS/2, MSU, SSU), SEM and Argos/DCS. Operational Dates: November 05, 1978 to January 30, 1980. TIROS-N was placed in a near circular, (470nm) polar orbit. The spacecraft was rectangular shaped (146&quot; long by 74&quot; high) with one large solar panel attached. The satellite was Earth oriented, three-axis stabilized and weighed 1594 pounds. TIROS-N remained operational for 868 days until deactivated by NOAA.</gco:CharacterString></gmi:description><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86832756-32CE-46E2-E040-0AC8C5AB43743" xlink:title="DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/OSO &gt; Office of Satellite Operations, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce"/><gmi:sponsor xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86832756-32D8-46E2-E040-0AC8C5AB43743" xlink:title="NASA/GSFC &gt; Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B89775F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="AVHRR &gt; Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B88875F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="HIRS/2 &gt; High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder/2"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B89175F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="MSU &gt; Microwave Sounding Unit"/><gmi:instrument xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B89475F2E040AC8C5AB4576F" xlink:title="SSU &gt; Stratospheric Sounding Unit"/></gmi:MI_Platform>
