The Landsat program is the longest-running enterprise for acquisition of satellite imagery of Earth. It is a joint NASA / USGS program. On 23 July 1972, the Earth Resources Technology Satellite was launched. This was eventually renamed to Landsat 1 in 1975. [1] The most recent, Landsat 9, was launched on 27 September 2021.
Amid a changing climate, the data collected provide scientists, city planners, farmers, and other stakeholders with information that can help them make better-informed choices for the future.
