Landsat 9 is the latest satellite in the Landsat program, a series of Earth observation satellites jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Launched on September 27, 2021, Landsat 9 continues the program’s mission of providing high-quality, consistent, and accessible imagery of Earth’s surface. This satellite carries two primary instruments: the Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2), which capture data across a wide range of wavelengths, including visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared. Landsat 9’s data is crucial for monitoring changes in land use, natural resources, and environmental conditions, supporting applications in agriculture, forestry, water management, and climate science.
