September 4, 2012 - 9 million Landsat downloads...and counting

In the best sales year, around 25,000 images were sold. The Landsat project has now exceeded that number in a single day.

In fact, the 9 millionth image was distributed on September 1, 2012. It has taken less than 4 years to reach this mark, which demonstrates both the temporal and geographic expansion of Landsat-based research, as well as exposure to new communities that are exploring the 40 years of global Landsat data for the first time.
