How does the Landsat satellites?

Landsat satellites are designed to capture detailed images of the Earth's surface, providing critical data for agriculture, forestry, land use planning, and environmental monitoring. They utilize multispectral imaging to collect data across various wavelengths, allowing researchers to analyze land cover changes over time. The continuous monitoring since the 1970s has enabled long-term studies of environmental changes and trends. This extensive archive of data supports decision-making and scientific research globally.
