Description
Caption: Weather-Eye orbit-- Heavy line shows approximate orbit of Tiros weather satellite fired successfully today from Cape Canaveral, Fla. The Satellite is in an almost perfect circle orbit ranging from 435 to 468 miles from the surface of the Earth, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. It takes just over 99 minutes to circle the Earth on its west-to-east route, which swings 48 degrees to each side of the equator.

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below:
