Description
America’s weatherman Al Roker knows how important weather satellites are! The New Jersey artifact for our “50 for 50” campaign is TIROS, the world’s first weather satellite, built by NJ’s RCA Astro Electronics.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Museum and the U.S. 250th, the “50 for 50” project will spotlight one artifact from every U.S. state and territory: https://s.si.edu/4uE1Qsk
