STAC Collection: LANDSAT-8
Launched in 2013, the Landsat 8 satellite has contributed to an uninterrupted multispectral record of the Earth’s land surfaces since 1972. Landsat 8 orbits in an eight-day offset with Landsat 7, which was launched in 1999. The L8 mission objective is to provide timely, high-quality visible and infrared images of all landmass and near-coastal areas on the Earth, continually refreshing an existing Landsat database. Data input into the system are sufficiently consistent with currently archived data in terms of acquisition geometry, calibration, coverage, and spectral characteristics to allow for comparison of global and regional change detection and characterization.
