Explorer-7 Thermal Radiation Experiment Selected White Sensor Temperature (Nighttime) Values V001 (EXP7L1TRTWHT)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/y1xferknbthb
Explorer-7 Thermal Radiation Experiment Selected White Sensor Temperature (Nighttime) Values product contains the temperatures measured by the white sensor at night.
Description
The white sensor was designed to measure terrestrial radiation. There is a single file for the entire mission (Nov. 15, 1959 to May 24, 1960).
The data were originally written on IBM 7094 machines to magnetic tapes. In addition to the temperature values, the file contains radiance, geolocation and orbit information. The data have been restored and are archived in their original IBM EBCDIC text format.

The Explorer-7 satellite was successfully launched on October 13, 1959. The radius of the circle of coverage was about 23 deg (~2500 km) at perigee and 31.5 deg (~3500 km) at apogee. Half the radiation is received from an area below the satellite with a radius of 5.3 deg (545 km) at perigee and 9 deg (~1015 km) at apogee.
The Thermal Radiation Experiment successfully returned the first set of Earth looking data from space. The instrument was operational from launch until Feb. 28, 1961. The Principal Investigator for these data was Verner E. Suomi from the University of Wisconsin.
This product was previously available from the NSSDC with the identifier ESAD-00248 (old ID 59-009A-01A).
