The longest continuous record of earth from space is about to start its next chapter
Since 1972, Landsat has been observing our planet across the spectrum…
and adding new spectral bands over the years.
The future will be ‘super-spectral’. Landsat NEXT will add 15 new bands to support emerging user applications
Spatial resolution will improve to 10 meters for 5 bands,
Thermal and atmospheric bands will be 60 meters and all other bands will be 20 meters
And it gets better - while Landsat 9 revisits the same place on Earth every 16 days...
Landsat Next will be a constellation of 3 satellites with a combined 6-day revisit
able to capture fast-changing processes like crop growth, floods, and algal blooms.
Every 6 days, Landsat Next will deliver data with increased spectral and spatial resolution.
