With satellites in orbit since 1972, the Landsat program is the longest running Earth observation program.
Farmers have greater access to geospatial tools that can help mitigate some agricultural challenges.
To cope with ever-changing agricultural needs and conditions, the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (or NASS) uses data from Landsat to monitor crops in the contiguous United States.
Discovered in 1976 in imagery captured by Landsat 1, Landsat Island (60° 10′ 37″N, 64° 02′ 30″W) is solely populated by polar bears.
