Learn how the longest continuous archive of Earth observation plays a critical role in monitoring and managing resources.
NASA and AmericaView teamed up again to create the 2022 Earth Science Week poster. The front of the poster features natural and false-color images acquired by six different Landsat satellites going back to the 1970s — emphasizing the lasting impact Landsat has had on earth science for more than 50 years.
The back of the poster features a timeline of the Landsat program’s history as well as playing cards showing change over time.
You can also learn more about the Landsat 9 satellite mission, AmericaView, and Earth Observation Day.
Since its launch on July 23, 1972, the Landsat series of satellites has allowed scientists and researchers to explore Earth from space like never before and investigate how our planet has changed over time.
