Free Landsat 7 Data Available from USGS

Jun. 4 • Starting on June 4, 2007, the USGS is offering free orthorectified SLC-off Landsat 7 data of the United States as part of a pilot for the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) data policy. Each new U.S. Landsat 7 acquisition will become part of this free archive. Plans also call for Landsat 7 data collected as early as June 2003 to eventually be processed and added to this archive.
