Description
In the early 1970's, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
entered into a partnership with the National Aeronautic and
Space Administration (NASA) to provide repetitive global
images of the earth's landmasses taken from a satellite
flown at an altitude of approximately 438 miles. Onboard
the 1999 Landsat7 satellite, the instrument used is an
8-band multispectral scanning radiometer that produces
high-resolution images of the earth using bandwidths
between 15 and 60-meter pixel resolution.
