Band Combination of Landsat 8 Earth-observing satellite Images
Landsat 8
The Landsat program offers the longest continuous global record of the Earth’s surface
In 1975, NASA Administrator Dr. James Fletcher predicted that if one space age development would save the world, it would be Landsat and its successor satellites. Since the early 1970s, Landsat has continuously and consistently archived images of Earth
On Feb. 11, 2013, NASA launched the Landsat 8 Earth-observing satellite
Landsat 8 officially began normal operations on May 30, 2013
Landsat 8 has collected about 400 scenes of the Earth’s surface per day.
Each of these scenes covers an area of about 185 by 185 kilometers
