"irst space-based Earth observation system" its first successful mission was Discoverer 14 on 19 August 1960 with the recovery of photographic film from an orbiting satellite. įirst television image of Earth from space and first weather satellite picture.
The first "coarse maps of the solar radiation reflected by the Earth and the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth", from a mission launched on October 13, 1959. įirst image of Earth from orbit, showing a sunlit area of the Central Pacific Ocean and its cloud cover. įirst attempt of a scanner, in which a single photocell mounted at the focus of telescope would scan Earth due to the satellite movement resulting images were poor. The first color image from space as part in the left corner of this first color photomosaic of Earth from space, composed of 117 images taken from an altitude of 100 miles. įirst prepared wide-angle panorama of Earth from outer space (the 1946 flight did already record a panorama swing). 13 suborbital spaceflight, after the first suborbital flight was achieved with flight MW 18014 in 1944.įirst dedicated and first published Earth observation images from outer space, first published on March 25, 1947. Not published as Earth observation images until 1950. Within the context of this timeline, outer space is considered as starting at the Kármán line, 100 kilometres (62 miles) above mean sea level (AMSL).įirst images of Earth from outer space, flight monitoring continuous imaging, resulting in a time-lapse-movie reel. Photographic imagery of planet Earth from outer space started in the 1940s, first from rockets in suborbital flight, subsequently from satellites around Earth, and then from spacecraft beyond Earth's orbit.
