Description:
On April 13, 1969, NASA launched a new weather satellite called Nimbus 3. <br/><br/>This was the third in a series of second-generation research and development satellites NASA launched to test new technologies for weather forecasting. Nimbus 3 had an infrared spectrometer that allowed it to record temperatures throughout the atmosphere. It could also detect electromagnetic radiation in a whole spectrum of wavelengths, which helps scientists determine the structure of the atmosphere. The satellite also had cameras that provided real-time images of cloud coverage. Nimbus 3 launched on a Thor-Agena rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Station in California and entered a polar orbit. Two months later, one of its instruments failed. After more of them broke down, NASA terminated the mission in 1972.

In our latest 'Getting Started' series installment we will demonstrate just how lightweight the RareWire App Creation Studio is compared to the Appcelerator Titanium Platform.nnStay tuned as we will create a simple example app using WIRE. This app will be comparable in functionality to one of the example apps found in the Appcelerator documentation. As we go along we will point out the differences of each platform and highlight to advant")
