Landsat: Sustainability of a Mission Poster

Mergui Archipelago

Learn how the longest continuous archive of Earth observation plays a critical role in monitoring and managing resources.

NASA and AmericaView teamed up again to create the 2022 Earth Science Week poster. The front of the poster features natural and false-color images acquired by six different Landsat satellites going back to the 1970s — emphasizing the lasting impact Landsat has had on earth science for more than 50 years.

The back of the poster features a timeline of the Landsat program’s history as well as playing cards showing change over time.

You can also learn more about the Landsat 9 satellite mission, AmericaView, and Earth Observation Day.

Since its launch on July 23, 1972, the Landsat series of satellites has allowed scientists and researchers to explore Earth from space like never before and investigate how our planet has changed over time.

NASA’s Landsat 9 satellite launches on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket from Space Launch Complex 3 at Vandenberg Space Force Station in California on Sept. 27, 2021. Launch time was 2:11 p.m. EDT (11:11 a.m. PDT). The launch is managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Landsat 9 will join its sister satellite, Landsat 8, in orbit in collecting images from across the planet every eight days. This calibrated data will continue the Landsat program’s critical role in monitoring the health of Earth and helping people manage essential resources, including crops, irrigation water, and forests. NASA Goddard manages the Landsat 9 mission. Goddard teams also built and tested one of the two instruments on Landsat 9, the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2) instrument. TIRS-2 will use thermal imaging to make measurements that can be used to estimate soil moisture and detect the health of plants.
