Landsat 8 acquires images
at a rate of about 750 per day,
and just a little over 4 years
after launch in February 2013,
the Earth-observing satellite
on May 31, 2017 acquired
it's 1 millionth scene!
This Landsat 8 scene is located
northwest of the Sea of Okhotsk,
Russia, and was acquired on May
31, 2017. It is one of the first
almost cloud-free acquisitions
after the one millionth scene
was made available for
download.
Landsat 8 provides the highest
quality data since the Landsat
archive was established in
July 1972 with the launch
of Landsat 1.
