Abstract:
The Landsat-7 satellite is part of an ongoing mission to
provide quality remote sensing data in support of research
and applications activities. The U.S. entered into a
partnership with NASA in the early 1970's to assume
responsibility for the archive management and distribution
of Landsat data products. In July 1972, NASA launched the
first in a series of satellites designed to provide
repetitive global observations of the Earth's land masses.
Part of NASA's Earth Resources Survey Program, the Earth
Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) Program, the ERTS
satellites were later renamed Landsat to better represent
the civil satellite program's prime emphasis on remote
sensing of land resources. Landsats 1, 2, and 3 carried
the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) sensor and also included
the experimental Return Beam Vidicon cameras. The
Landsat-4 satellite carried the MSS and Thematic Mapper
(TM) sensors, as does the still currently orbiting
Landsat-5 satellite. The launch of Landsat-7 on April 15,
1999 marks the addition of the latest satellite to the
Landsat series. The Landsat-7 satellite carries the
Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) sensor. A mechanical
failure of the ETM+ Scan Line Corrector (SLC) occurred on
May 31, 2003, with the result that all Landsat 7 scenes
acquired from July 14, 2003 to present have been collected
in 'SLC-off' mode.
Purpose:
The mission of the Landsat-7 satellite is to provide a
vehicle for continuing the flow of global change
information to users worldwide. The Landsat-7 satellite
fulfills its mission by providing repetitive, synoptic
coverage of continental surfaces and by collecting data in
spectral bands that include the visible, near-infrared,
shortwave, and thermal infrared portions of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
Landsat-7 mission objectives include: 1) Maintaining
Landsat data continuity by providing data that are
consistent in terms of data acquisition, geometry, spatial
resolution, calibration, coverage characteristics, and
spectral characteristics with previous Landsat data. 2)
Generating and periodically refreshing a global archive of
substantially cloud-free, Sun-lit, land-mass imagery. 3)
Continuing to make remote sensing satellite data available
to domestic and international users and expanding the use
of such data for global change research in both the
Government and private commercial sectors. 4) Promoting
interdisciplinary research via synergism with other EOS
observations, specifically, orbiting in tandem with the
EOS Terra satellite for near coincident observations.
Supplemental_Information:
The Landsat-7 system is another step in the development and
application of remotely sensed satellite data for use in
managing the Earth's land resources. As with earlier
Landsat systems, the Landsat-7 platform, along with its
enhanced thematic mapping sensor, provides for new
capabilities in remote sensing of the Earth's land
surface.

Data_Set_Credit:
The Landsat Program, as defined by Congress in 1992 and amended
by Presidential Decision Directive/NSTC-3 in May 1994, is
managed cooperatively by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) and the USGS. Responsibility for
construction of the spacecraft and instrument lies with NASA.
The Landsat Program is part of NASA's Earth Observing System
global change initiative administered by NASA's Earth Science
Enterprise. Data processing, archiving, and distribution are
performed by the USGS. The primary ground station, the data
handling facility and archive are located at the USGS Center
for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) in Sioux
Falls, SD. NASA managed flight operations from the control
center at the Goddard Space Flight Center until October 1,
2000, at which time responsibility for flight operations
transferred to the USGS. The ground system is able to
distribute raw ETM+ data within 24 hours of its reception at
the EROS.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The identification of features is provided by the distinct
electromagnetic energy it emits, reflects, or otherwise
transmits. This is called the spectral signature. Other
signatures such as tone (lightness or darkness), texture
(surface roughness or smoothness), pattern, shadow, shape,
and size are as important. Thus, through the use of the
enhanced thematic mapper sensor, such elements as water
features, soils, and vegetation can be identified and
distinguished from each other.
Logical_Consistency_Report: N/A
Completeness_Report:
The Landsat-7 satellite is designed to fly a 705-kilometer,
Sun-synchronous, Earth mapping orbit with a 16-day repeat
cycle. The orbital pattern equates to a 233-orbit cycle with a
swath sidelap that varies from approximately 7 percent at the
Equator to nearly 84 percent at 81 degrees north or south
latitude.
