Spanning nearly 50 years, the joint NASA-USGS Landsat program provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth's surface. These observations help people manage vital natural resources and understand our changing planet. The newest satellite, Landsat 9, launched Sept. 27, 2021, will provide essential information about crop health, irrigation use, water quality, urban expansion, and more.
