Landsat Satellite Program

The Landsat Satellite Program is a series of Earth-monitoring satellites that capture detailed images of the planet’s surface over time. Launched since the 1970s, these satellites help track changes in land use, vegetation, water bodies, and urban development. Their consistent, multispectral images are valuable for environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, and disaster management. By providing long-term, reliable data, Landsat helps scientists and policymakers better understand Earth's dynamics and make informed decisions for sustainable resource management.
