What Landsat products are available?
There are several Landsat Collection 2 products that are useful for science applications and land use/land change studies:
Landsat Level-1 Products - Each Level-1 product includes individual spectral band files, a metadata file, and additional ancillary files. Level-1 products are available for all global landmasses.
Landsat U.S. Analysis Ready Data (ARD) - U.S. ARD uses Landsat Level-1 data as input that is processed to the highest scientific standards and placed in a tile-based structure to support time-series analysis.
U.S. ARD are available for the conterminous United States (CONUS), Alaska, and Hawaii. Landsat Collection 2 U.S. ARD products are processed to a common tiling scheme, which is modified from the Web-Enabled Landsat Data (WELD) system. This tiled grid is different from the Landsat satellites path and row.
Landsat Level-2 and Level-3 Science Products – Landsat science products are processed time-series observational data of sufficient length, consistency, and continuity to record effects of climate change.
Landsat Level-2 Science Products are available for global landmasses and include: surface reflectance, surface temperature, surface reflectance-derived spectral indices, and provisional aquatic reflectance.
Product availability for Landsat Level-3 Science Products varies by product:
U.S. ARD tile-based:
- Dynamic surface water extent: CONUS, AK, HI
- Fractional snow covered area: Northern and western CONUS, AK
- Burned area: CONUS
Landsat Path/Row scene-based:
- Provisional actual evapotranspiration: Global coverage

What is the Landsat satellite program and why is it important? What is the Landsat satellite program and why is it important?
The Landsat Program is a series of Earth-observing satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey. On July 23, 1972, in cooperation with NASA, the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) was launched. It was later renamed Landsat 1. Additional Landsat satellites have launched to bring the world an archive of remote sensing data. Currently orbiting and active...

Landsat data products held in the USGS archives can be searched and downloaded at no charge from a variety of sources. Visit Landsat Data Access for information about how Landsat data products can be downloaded individually or in bulk. Landsat imagery not found in the USGS archive might have been collected by one of the USGS International Cooperator ground stations, each of which are the primary...
