Description:
On May 17, 1974, NASA launched the first Synchronous Meteorological Satellite, SMS-1.<br/><br/>This was the first satellite designed to monitor meteorological conditions from a geostationary orbit. This kind of orbit allowed it to stay above a fixed location as Earth rotates. One of the instruments on this spacecraft was a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer (VISSR), which provided high-quality cloudcover data 24 hours a day. It also carried a data collection and transmission system that allowed it to relay data from central weather facilities to smaller regional stations. Another device known as a space environmental monitor measured the charged particles in Earth’s radiation belts and the solar wind. The satellite was shaped like a cylinder and measured about 7.5 feet long, not including a 33-inch magnetometer that stuck out of one end. It launched from Cape Canaveral on a Delta rocket and remained operational for about 7 years. It was replaced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s new GOES satellite, which was almost identical.

The Sky Dew, Israel’s largest spy balloon, acts as a detection radar for unmanned aircraft and missiles. Two explosive-laden Hezbollah drones were launched in the attack, with one being downed by air defenses and the other successfully hitting the facility. The extent of the damage to the balloon is still being assessed by the Israeli military. This attack is seen as a retaliation for recent Israeli strikes on southern Lebanese villages and civilian homes. Hezbollah has vowed to continue its operations as long as Israel's military campaign in Gaza persists.<br/> <br/>#Hezbollah #Israel #SkyDew #SpyBalloon #DroneAttack #Lebanon #MiddleEastConflict #IDF #MilitaryStrike #AerialSurveillance")
