Landsat 8 captures more than 700 scenes a day, an increase from the 250 scenes a day on Landsat 7. The OLI and TIRS sensors will see improved signal to noise radiometric (SNR) performance, enabling 12-bit quantization of data allowing for more bits for better land-cover characterization. Planned parameters for Landsat 8 standard products: [8]
OLI structure Satellite image of the Thames Estuary taken by OLI. The Operational Land Imager (OLI) is a remote sensing instrument aboard Landsat 8, built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies. Landsat 8 is the successor to Landsat 7 and was launched on February 11, 2013. [1] OLI is a push broom scanner that uses a four-mirror telescope with fixed ...
Landsat 8: 11 February 2013: active: 12 years: Originally named Landsat Data Continuity Mission from launch until 30 May 2013, when NASA operations were turned over to United States Geological Survey (USGS). [15] Landsat 8 has two sensors with its payload, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS). [16] Landsat 9: ...
Landsat 9 is an Earth observation satellite launched on 27 September 2021 from Space Launch Complex-3E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on an Atlas V 401 launch vehicle. [3] NASA is in charge of building, launching, and testing the satellite, while the United States Geological Survey (USGS) operates the satellite, and manages and distributes the data archive. [4]
Use of NASA logos, insignia and emblems is restricted per U.S. law 14 CFR 1221.; The NASA website hosts a large number of images from the Soviet/Russian space agency, and other non-American space agencies.
The following is a general comparison of BitTorrent clients, which are computer programs designed for peer-to-peer file sharing using the BitTorrent protocol. [1]The BitTorrent protocol coordinates segmented file transfer among peers connected in a swarm.
Citra is a discontinued [5] free and open-source game console emulator of the handheld system Nintendo 3DS for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Citra's name is derived from CTR, which is the model name of the original 3DS. [1] Citra can run many homebrew games and commercial games. [6] Citra was first made available in 2014.
In 1976, the Tasseled Cap Index was published by R.J. Kauth and G.S. Thomas.It was generated on the basis of spectral information from the Landsat satellite. The Tasseled Cap coefficients used in the linear equation of the Tasseled Cap transformation are sensor specific and therefore, were derived for each sensor system.
