On March 6-9, over 22,000 explored the Austin Public Library for the South by Southwest Festival (SXSW). At the NASA booth, they explored the power of Landsat.

More than 715,000 visitors have transcribed their names and messages into Landsat letters using the “Your Name in Landsat” tool since it was unveiled in August as part of Camp Landsat 2024.
Landsat was part of over 400 presentations at the AGU 2022 Fall Meeting this year in Chicago.
Communicating the technology and science of Landsat has always been a facet of the mission.
