Instruments recorded temperature, humidity, and wind patterns. The test supported the development of more accurate forecasting models. Scientists used the new information to improve aviation safety and agricultural planning. The successful launch expanded national meteorological research capabilities. It marked an important milestone in atmospheric science.
