Tiros III (A-03 or Tiros C before launch) left the pad at 1026 on 1961 Jul 12, reaching orbit at 1038. It was similar in design to Tiros I, and transmitted until 1962 Feb 27. In Dec 1993 the orbit was 723 x 790 km x 47.9 deg.

Tiros 3 was the first satellite to discover a hurricane - Hurricane Esther - and observed all six of the major Atlantic hurricanes of the 1961 season.
