Tiros VII (A-52,Tiros G) was an enlarged hatbox Tiros launched for the 1963 hurricane season. Liftoff came at 0950:02 on 1963 Jun 19, with orbit insertion at 1001. Tiros VII was the most successful of the early Tiros satellites, deactivated on 1968 Jun 1 after taking 125000 pictures. In Dec 1993 its orbit was 341 x 351 km x 58.2 deg, and it reentered in 1994. The satellite's orbit ensured that it operated in the opposite hemisphere to Tiros VI and was observing the northern hemisphere during the Atlantic hurricane season.
