Low-res color bands + High-res grayscale band = High-res color image. Such band combinations are commonly bundled in satellite data sets, for example Landsat 7, which includes six 30 m resolution multispectral bands, a 60 m thermal infrared band plus a 15 m resolution panchromatic band.
Landsat 7 Schematic. Landsat 7 was designed to last for five years, and has the capacity to collect and transmit up to 532 images per day. It is in a polar, Sun-synchronous orbit, meaning it scans across the entire Earth's surface. With an altitude of 705 km, it takes 232 orbits, or 16 days, to do so.
Landsat-8: Active NASA and USGS 2013 Follow on to Landsat-7 with improved imager OLI and thermal sensor TIRS. Landsat-9: Active NASA and USGS 2021 Follow on to Landsat-8 with OLI sensor and thermal sensor TIRS-2. Landsat-9 will extend the Landsat program to maintain the time series of these type of data.

Carrying the same Multi spectral Scanner (MSS) but also carrying an Enhanced Thematic Mapper, which added a 15m resolution panchromatic band. Landsat 7: 15 April 1999: Active: 25 years, 9 months and 27 days Operating with scan line corrector disabled since May 2003. [13] The main component on Landsat 7 was the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+).
In the case of Landsat satellites, several different band designations have been used, with as many as 11 bands comprising a multispectral image. [ 17 ] [ 18 ] [ 19 ] Spectral imaging with a higher radiometric resolution (involving hundreds or thousands of bands), finer spectral resolution (involving smaller bands), or wider spectral coverage ...
It was captured on 7 August 2015 by Landsat 8 (OLI). The image is created as a True Color Composite, where R – Red Band (0.64 - 0.67 μm), G – Green Band (0.53 - 0.59 μm) and B – Blue Band (0.45 - 0.51 μm). This band combination is suitable for crop monitoring. For emphasizing characteristics, the image was pan-sharpened by panchromatic ...
