The Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) is a United States Geological Survey data management, systems development, and research field center It serves as the national archive of remotely sensed images of the Earth's land surface acquired by civilian satellites and aircraft.
7 years, 1 month and 3 days: Nearly identical copy of Landsat 1. Payload consisting of a Return Beam Vidicon (RBV) and a Multi spectral Scanner (MSS). The specifications of these instruments were identical to Landsat 1. Landsat 3: 5 March 1978: 31 March 1983: 5 years and 26 days: Nearly identical copy of Landsat 1 and Landsat 2.
TIROS-1, the very first full-scale, low Earth orbit weather satellite. [3] The primary objective of TIROS-1 was to explore television infrared observation as a method of monitoring and studying the surface of Earth. Critical to the development of the satellites currently in use, TIROS-1 was a program that allowed NASA to use experimental ...
Landsat 3 is the third satellite of the Landsat program. It was launched on March 5, 1978, with the primary goal of providing a global archive of satellite imagery. Unlike later Landsat satellites, Landsat 3 was managed solely by NASA. Landsat 3 decommissioned on September 7, 1983, beyond its design life of one year. [2]
