LANDSAT-9  

Definition

  • Landsat 9—a partnership between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey— will continue the Landsat program’s critical role in monitoring, understanding and managing the land resources needed to sustain human life. Today’s increased rates of global land cover and land use change have profound consequences for weather and climate change, ecosystem function and services, carbon cycling and sequestration, resource management, the national and global economy, human health, and society. Landsat is the only U.S. satellite system designed and operated to repeatedly observe the global land surface at a moderate scale that shows both natural and human-induced change. Landsat 9 has been fast-tracked for a December 2020 launch. More Information: https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/landsat-9/ https://www.usgs.gov/land-resources/nli/landsat/landsat-9 (en)
