The satellite is delivered to its owner, the US civil space agency NASA, who also buy the rocket. Here is TIROS 2 on top of the rocket before the nose cone is added Here, the NASA Delta launches TIROS 2 into space from a launch site on US territory – in this case, Cape Canaveral, FL And the satellite operates in orbit under the ownership of NASA, using a NASA mission control center in Greenbelt, MD INTERNATIONALIZATION
