Landsat monitors water quality in the Chesapeake Bay
From Russia to South Africa, Landsat observes land cover and land use change.
The Landsat Data Continuity Mission is the 8th satellite in the 40-year successful Landsat program.
LDCM lifts off from Vandenburg AFB on top of an Atlas V rocket!
Landsat’s data archive allows us to trace the life history of each spot of land.

After decades of disappearing into the Chesapeake Bay, Poplar Island is being rebuilt.
Vineyards and forest management companies both rely on Landsat data.
It’s marshland vs. ocean on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana.

An illustration explaining the process of evapotranspiration.
Flyover the Eastern US, highlighting areas of forest loss, 2005-2010.
Cities around the world have grown under Landsat’s watch. Our Flickr page has then and now comparisons.
Observe the spreading loss of Amazon forest in western Brazil, in the state of Rondonia.
Wildfires and logging have made their imprint on forests in Trinity County, California.
