Spectral Comparison of Landsat 8-9 and Landsat 10

This illustration shows the spectral bands of the sensors onboard Landsat 8 and Landsat 9, compared to those of Landsat 10. 

Landsat 10 will have 26 bands; this includes refined versions of the 11 Landsat “heritage” bands, five bands with similar spatial and spectral characteristics to the European Space Agency’s Copernicus Sentinel-2 bands to allow easier merging of data products, and ten new spectral bands to support emerging Landsat applications. Landsat 10 will continue to provide free and open data access for all users.
