NASA's Landsat Program: A Crucial Resource for Earth Monitoring
NASA's Landsat program, a joint effort with the U.S. Geological Survey, has been providing critical Earth monitoring data for over 50 years. The program's satellites have captured consistent and precise images of Earth's land surface, contributing to scientific research and policy-making. In 2023, Landsat delivered an estimated $25.6 billion in value to the U.S. economy, aiding industries such as agriculture, forestry, and water management. The program's data is freely accessible, making it a vital resource for researchers and policymakers worldwide.
