Camp Landsat | Landsat Science

Would you like to go up a skyscraper, take an airplane trip, or visit an amusement park this summer? From sprawling cities to popular vacation spots, Landsat can see these places and the way they reshaped Earth’s landscapes.

Do you like hiking, camping, or wildlife photography? Landsat helps us protect habitats, preserve biodiversity, and monitor how ecosystems change.

Did you know that farmers use data from Landsat to help grow their crops? Landsat helps farmers water those crops just right—not too much, not too little—and to check on plant health.

What better way to spend a hot summer day than by the water! Landsat helps managers monitor water quality—from the cold water you sip to stay cool to the lakes and coastal waters where you swim.

While visiting glaciers and icecaps isn’t everyone’s idea of a fun summer vacation, Landsat has been regularly monitoring how these harsh and remote environments have been changing for more than fifty years.

Landsat data helps people manage, protect, and preserve some of your favorite places on the planet.
