What is a satellite 'underfly'? 🛰️
Early in its mission life, #Landsat 9 flew directly under Landsat 8, and the two imaged Earth simultaneously.
This allowed scientists to cross-calibrate the instruments, ensuring accurate and consistent data for long-term Earth observation.
Launched #OTD in 1984, #Landsat 5 transformed how we study our planet. 🛰🌍
Operating for 28 years and 10 months, it holds a Guinness World Record as the longest-operating Earth observation satellite.
What’s your favorite Landsat 5 image? 🤔

It’s called Landsat, but these satellites study more than just land!
@USGS scientists developed a new way to map the seafloor from space. 🌊
The method measures ocean depth in shallow areas near shore using data from the @NASA/USGS #Landsat satellites. go.nasa.gov/3UO9aBU
Torrential rains caused deadly flooding and extensive damage in the province of Valencia, located in eastern Spain. These #Landsat images show the extent of flooding as of October 30, 2024.
