Definition
- The Spin-Scan Cloud Camera is a camera system developed by scientists at the University of Wisconsin and flown on the first ATS in 1966. This camera made use of the spin-stabilization of the satellite to produce high-resolution cloud imagery. The spin-scan cloud camera was the forerunner of the VISSR imaging instrument used in later geostationary satellites. [Source: The Glossary of Meteorology] (en)
