Landsat Satellite Imagery

Landsat satellite imagery is a series of images captured by satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites collect data about the planet’s surface using various sensors that detect different wavelengths of light. This imagery helps scientists and researchers monitor changes in land use, deforestation, urban development, and natural disasters. Launched in 1972, the Landsat program provides a historical record of the Earth's landscape, allowing for analysis over time. The images are valuable for environmental studies, agriculture, forestry, and urban planning, making them essential tools for understanding our planet and managing its resources.
