Landsat satellites

Landsat satellites are a series of Earth-observing satellites that have been capturing detailed images of our planet's surface since the 1970s. They orbit the Earth approximately every 16 days, providing valuable data used for monitoring environmental changes, land use, agriculture, forestry, and urban development. Landsat images help scientists, researchers, and policymakers understand and manage natural resources, track deforestation, assess climate change impacts, and support disaster response efforts. By offering consistent, long-term observations, Landsat has become a crucial tool for understanding the Earth's environment and the effects of human activities.
