The EarthNow! Landsat Image Viewer displays imagery in near real-time as Landsat satellites orbit the Earth. Along with the near real-time video stream, EarthNow! also replays acquisition recordings from previous Landsat overpasses. When Landsat satellites are out of viewing range of a ground station, the most recent overpass is displayed.

How does your state use Landsat satellite data? Find out here! For each state, you can download a satellite image, put together an online puzzle, or read a USGS Fact Sheet that contains information about the benefits of Landsat.

Providing the longest continuous science record of the Earth’s surface from space.

The Landsat Reprocessing Application allows you to discover scene and tile products that have been changed by reprocessing.

The Landsat International Cooperator Interactive maps allow you to learn more about the active Landsat ground stations around the world. Two versions are currently available: One that displays only the active ground stations, and a new page that displays information on both current and historical stations. Check them both out, below!

The Earth Observing Satellites Online Compendium contains details about past, present and future Earth observing satellites and the sensors they carry. This information compiled by staff at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

This visualization provides an overview of the Landsat Program and its active missions, as well as Landsat products and helpful tools and services available from the USGS.

During Landsat Science Team meetings, members present their research that is relevant to the meeting topics, and are briefed by USGS and NASA staff on mission and program status. The Landsat Science Team Meeting Presentations search tool enables the search and discovery of all presentation presented at previous meetings.

The Spectral Characteristics Viewer allows users to determine which satellite bands are best suited for research applications.

The surface of the Earth is always changing. Some changes like earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, and landslides happen quickly, and other changes, such as most erosional processes, happen slowly over time. It’s often hard to see these changes from ground level. Earthshots shows you how satellite data are used to track these changes over time.

For a half-century, the Landsat satellites have revealed patterns of change across our crowded planet. Learn more with this interactive that ESRI and USGS created together.

Landsat 9 launched September 27, 2021, to acquire images of Earth, extending Landsat's record of our planet to over half a century. Learn more about the mission.
