The Nimbus program has already cost more than $100 million, but the price tag may be well worth it. The ninth weather eye to be orbited by the U.S., the General Electric-built Nimbus is at once the biggest and most advanced weather satellite sent into space since Tiros I pioneered the use of satellites for meteorology more than four years...
