NASA and USGS Released First Landsat 9 Images

Source Node: 1880831

Last week NASA published the first few photos from Ladsat 9. These images serve as a preview of the mission’s ability to help folks manage natural resources and increase our understanding of the impacts of climate change.

“Landsat 9’s first images capture critical observations about our changing planet and will advance this joint mission of NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey that provides critical data about Earth’s landscapes and coastlines seen from space,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “This program has the proven power to not only improve lives but also save lives. NASA will continue to work with USGS to strengthen and improve accessibility to Landsat data so decision makers in America – and around the world – better understand the devastation of the climate crisis, manage agricultural practices, preserve precious resources and respond more effectively to natural disasters.”
