Landsat 9: A Continuing Legacy of Earth Observation
In order to continue the Landsat program’s long-standing legacy, NASA and the USGS launched Landsat-9 in September 2021 as the 9th satellite.
Satellite
Worldview Satellite by DigitalGlobe
DigitalGlobe’s cutting-edge high resolution Worldview satellite carves out ridiculously crisp imagery at 31 cm in 8 spectral bands.
MODIS: Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
Despite popular belief MODIS is a satellite, it’s actually an instrument on-board a satellite. It has 36 bands, 250-1000 meter resolution and 2-day revisits.
The 50 Most Influential Satellites in History
A list of the 50 most iconic satellites put up into space to monitor our planet. We show the uses and types of satellites like weather and GPS satellites.
Landsat 8 Bands and Band Combinations
We list Landsat 8 bands as well as popular band combinations which includes coastal, blue, green, red, NIR, SWIR-1, SWIR-2, cirrus and two thermal bands.
Sentinel 2 Bands and Combinations
Sentinel 2 has a total of 13 bands. Each band is 10, 20 or 60 meters in pixel size. This includes red, green, blue, near infrared and short infrared bands.
AVHRR: Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) spatial resolution is actually very coarse at 1.1 km. But its revisit times are “very high” at just one day.
Sentinel Satellites of the Copernicus Programme
Copernicus is the world’s largest and most ambitious Earth observation program in existence today with its Sentinel satellites taking center stage.
DigitalGlobe Satellite Imagery: Worldview, GeoEye and IKONOS
If you want the sharpest satellite imagery in the world, harness the power of DigitalGlobe imagery. Each pixel in a Worldview-3 image is about 31 cm.
IKONOS Satellite Imagery: First Commercial Space-based Imaging
IKONOS provides panchromatic, natural-color, color-infrared and stereo images for cartographic, remote sensing and photogrammetric applications.
