O ESSA-8 foi um satélite estadunidense de pesquisas meteorológicas. Foi lançado em 15 de fevereiro de 1968 às 17:17:00 UTC da Base da Força Aérea de Vandenberg, EUA, através de um foguete Delta. A Missão ESSA-8 substituiu a missão ESSA-6 com o objetivo de fornecer fotografias detalhadas para criar um padrão de nuvens para as estações terrestres em todo o mundo. Os parceiros do projecto incluíam a NASA, o ESSA (Environmental Science Services Administration) o RCA e o U.S. Weather Bureau, junto com o NMC (National Centers for Environmental Prediction). rdf:langString
ESSA-8 was a weather satellite launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on December 15, 1968, from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. Its name was derived from that of its oversight agency, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). ESSA-8's mission was to replace ESSA-6, and provide detailed cloud pattern photography to ground stations worldwide. Partners in the project included NASA, ESSA, RCA, the National Weather Service, and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NMC). rdf:langString

rdf:langString ESSA-8 was a weather satellite launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on December 15, 1968, from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. Its name was derived from that of its oversight agency, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). ESSA-8 was an 18-sided polygon. It measured 42 inches (110 cm) in diameter by 22 inches (56 cm) in height, with a mass of 130 kilograms (290 lb). It was made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel covered with 10,020 solar cells. The cells charged 63 nickel–cadmium batteries, which served as a power source. The satellite could take 8 to 10 pictures every 24 hours. Each photo covered a 2,000-square-mile (5,200 km2) area at a resolution of 2 miles (3.2 km) per pixel. ESSA-8's mission was to replace ESSA-6, and provide detailed cloud pattern photography to ground stations worldwide. Partners in the project included NASA, ESSA, RCA, the National Weather Service, and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NMC). ESSA-8 operated for 2,644 days until it was deactivated on March 12, 1976.
