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
