Landsat - A Pillar of Land Remote Sensing
Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center
At the USGS EROS Center, we study land change and produce land change data products used by researchers, resource managers, and policy makers across the nation and around the world. We also operate the Landsat satellite program with NASA, and maintain the largest civilian collection of images of the Earth’s land surface in existence, including tens of millions of satellite images.
Eyes on Earth
Landsat 9 has taken the place of Landsat 7 in orbit, but Landsat 7 is still collecting data. This episode of our remote sensing podcast describes how the satellite’s extended science mission is going.
