Landsat images provide information meeting the broad and diverse needs of business,
science, education, government, and national security. They are now freely available in the
internet. The mission of the Landsat Program is to provide repetitive acquisition of high-
resolution multispectral data of the Earth's surface on a global basis. The data from the
Landsat spacecraft constitute the longest record of the Earth's continental surfaces as seen
from space.
