Operational Land Imager

The Operational Land Imager (OLI) is a high-tech camera onboard a satellite that captures detailed images of Earth's surface. It uses different types of sensors to detect sunlight reflected from the land, water, and vegetation, allowing scientists to monitor environmental changes, land use, and natural resources. OLI can capture images in various wavelengths, including visible and infrared light, enabling the analysis of features not visible to the naked eye. This data helps in tracking climate change, managing agriculture, and assessing natural disasters, providing vital information for scientists, policymakers, and environmentalists.
