Landsat 5-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) [5] Developed by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation, the OLI is a crucial aspect of modern LandSat vehicles. Using 7000 sensors per band (Spectrum band), the OLI on NASA's most recent LandSat (LANDSAT 8) Satellite, will image/view the entire earth every 16 days. Enhanced Thematic Mapper + (ETM+ ...
Landsat-7: Active NASA and USGS 1999 Images Earth's land surfaces and coastal areas with global coverage at high spatial resolution. [19] Landsat-8: Active NASA and USGS 2013 Follow on to Landsat-7 with improved imager OLI and thermal sensor TIRS. Landsat-9: Active NASA and USGS 2021 Follow on to Landsat-8 with OLI sensor and thermal sensor TIRS-2.
NASA's Landsat 9 satellite captured images of the Palasides Fire burn area, which has a visibly charred stretch from light brown to dark brown to the north and west of the Pacific Palisades community.
Amid a changing climate, the data collected provide scientists, city planners, farmers, and other stakeholders with information that can help them make better-informed choices for the future.
