00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,807
The longest continuous record of earth from
space is about to start its next chapter

2
00:00:08,508 --> 00:00:16,049
Since 1972, Landsat has been observing
our planet across the spectrum…

3
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:24,057
and adding new spectral bands over the years.

4
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:31,197
The future will be ‘super-spectral’.
Landsat NEXT will add 15 new bands to
support emerging user applications

5
00:00:31,197 --> 00:00:35,769
Spatial resolution will improve to 10 meters for 5 bands,

6
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:41,207
Thermal and atmospheric bands will be 60 meters
and all other bands will be 20 meters 

7
00:00:42,275 --> 00:00:49,816
And it gets better - while Landsat 9 revisits
the same place on Earth every 16 days...

8
00:00:51,818 --> 00:00:56,890
Landsat Next will be a constellation of 3
satellites with a combined 6-day revisit

9
00:00:56,890 --> 00:01:04,364
able to capture fast-changing processes
like crop growth, floods, and algal blooms.

10
00:01:04,364 --> 00:01:14,174
Every 6 days, Landsat Next will deliver data with
increased spectral and spatial resolution.

00:01:15,875 --> 00:01:23,783
