Landsat Global Archive Consolidation WRS 1 Scenes

This map displays the scenes acquired by Landsat 1, Landsat 2, and Landsat 3 satellites, on the World Reference System (WRS-1). These scenes were initially downlinked and stored at Landsat International Cooperator Ground Stations. 

In 2010, the Landsat Global Archive Consolidation (LGAC) effort began with a goal to: 

1. Consolidate the Landsat data archives of all international ground stations
2. Make the data more accessible to the global Landsat community
3. Significantly increase the frequency of observations over a given area of interest to improve scientific uses such as change detection and analysis

As of December 2025, Landsat International Cooperators have contributed over 486,000 Landsat 1-3 scenes to the USGS archive. 

In 2025, over 78,000 Landsat 3 scenes were added to the archive!
