[i]A last-of-its-kind weather observatory with roots reaching back to the earliest days of U.S. space exploration rocketed into orbit this morning to keep logging environmental records until a long-delayed new generation of satellites is ready. ...the satellite's family tree can be traced to 1960 and the launch of TIROS, the first Television Infrared Observation Satellite. Upgrades and technology advancements have evolved the civilian weather observatories through the decades. NOAA-N Prime is the 43rd satellite launched in the long line and the 16th from its particular series that dates to 1978.[/i]
