Image for NASA Landsat

NASA Landsat

NASA Landsat is a program that uses satellites orbiting Earth to capture detailed images of the planet’s surface over time. These images help us monitor environmental changes, such as deforestation, urban growth, and climate impacts. Landsat provides valuable data for scientists, policymakers, and land managers to make informed decisions about land use, conservation, agriculture, and disaster response. Since the 1970s, Landsat has been a vital tool for understanding how Earth’s landscape evolves, offering a consistent, long-term record of our planet’s surface.
