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.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: JPEG 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.

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.
