Launch mass: 374.4 kilograms (825 lb) [1] ... Nimbus 1 (also called Nimbus-A) was a meteorological satellite. It was the first in a series of the Nimbus program.
The Nimbus satellites were launched aboard Thor-Agena rockets (Nimbus 1–4) and Delta rockets (Nimbus 5–7). Over a 20-year period from the launch of the first satellite, the Nimbus series of missions was the United States' primary research and development platform for satellite remote sensing of the Earth. The seven Nimbus satellites ...
Nimbus IV launch. Nimbus 4 was launched on April 8, 1970, by a Thor-Agena rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc, California, United States. The spacecraft functioned nominally until September 30, 1980. The satellite orbited the Earth once every 1 hour and 47 minutes, at an inclination of 80°.
Nimbus B was a meteorological satellite launched as part of the Nimbus program. It was released on May 18, 1968 from the Vandenberg Air Force Base, Lompoc, California, by means of a Thor-Agena launch vehicle, together with the SECOR 10 satellite. Nimbus B never achieved orbit because a malfunction in the booster guidance system forced the ...
Nimbus 3 was nearly 3.7 metres (12 ft) tall, 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) in diameter at the base, and about 3 metres (9.8 ft) across with solar paddles extended. The torus -shaped sensory ring, which formed the satellite base, housed the electronics equipment and battery modules.
Configured somewhat like an ocean buoy, Nimbus 7 was nearly 3.04 metres (10.0 ft) tall, 1.52 metres (5.0 ft) in diameter at the base, and about 3.96 metres (13.0 ft) wide with solar paddles extended. The electronics equipment and battery modules were housed in the sensor mount (torus) that formed the satellite base.
Both cases in Lively v.Wayfarer Studios et al. are now scheduled for trial on March 9, 2026, Judge Lewis J. Liman outlined in an order filed Monday, Jan. 27. Liman is the same judge that Lively ...
Nimbus 5 (also called Nimbus E or Nimbus V) was a meteorological satellite for the research and development of sensing technology. It was the fifth successful launch in a series of the Nimbus program. The objective of Nimbus 5 was to test and evaluate advanced sensing technology, and to provide improved photographs of cloud formations. [3]
