![]() It has been an incredible product for our mapping needs across British Columbia. "I have worked with Landsat images for over 10 years. How valuable is data collected over that long a time period by the same instrument?" A 3-year design life that lasted into the 29th year. Later L5 feeds came to our station.Ĭatepiller tracks aside, L5 has been amazing. Dakota ground station when Landsat 7 launched. I was excited and honored to be able to work on the Landsat project at the S. "I remember first seeing a false-color Landsat image on the cover of Scientific American sometime in the 1970s. Its lifetime is also ours, over which we have grown and matured." L5-TM has made us part of the global family that has kept and used throughout the world. On behalf of them I would like to pay tribute to this instrument, and in him to all persons who have made possible their operation. ![]() Many people has been involved to achieve this objective. Its continuous, tireless and reliable recording of land surface has been a unique tool for a better water management in irrigated agriculture in La Mancha, Spain. "Images acquired since 1984 by L5-TM "The Eye" have enabled us to watch how the crops grow and how the changes on land cover happen. We who’ve known her take solace in the fact that she’s leaving the stage as the class act she’s always been and with many, many admirers. Landsat 5 has overcome incredible adversity in its 154,000 orbits around Earth and always returned to active duty, continuing to provide the quality and quantity of imagery that has made her the Grande Dame of Earth remote sensing. I’ve now spent most of the last 30 years working beside the men and women who have built, launched and flown Landsat 5 and 7 and have been privileged to observe firsthand the efforts expended to maintain these technological marvels and deliver the now millions of image products to end-users. While the famous ‘Blue Marble’ photo illustrated that we all inhabit a single planet, it has been the Landsat missions, and none more than Landsat 5, that have informed us of the changing face of that planet over time. I spent much of the next 4 years developing photographic products from L5 (it was the 80’s you know!) and marveling at the spectacular natural beauties of river deltas and desert sands juxtaposed with the anthropogenic aftermath of Chernobyl. "I was fortunate early in my career to watch the launch of Landsat 5 from at the EROS Data Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This fantastic remote sensing satellite program brings the world to our desk for at least 40 years and now! Beyond. "Congratulations to all Landsat Team and users around the world. Researcher of the Indonesian Space Agency (LAPAN) ![]() Thanks for the USGS that delivered the data broadly and freely." Our organisation use the Landsat 5 TM data for many appication i.e volcanic eruption, landslide, flood, and other applications. ![]() "Landsat 5 TM were the useful satellite image that substituted the fail in Landsat 7 ETM according to its SLC-off in the 2003-2011. returned home, but I will cry now with Landsat 5!" After Landsat 5 acquisitions stopped, the Landsat Project received numerous comments relating to the importance and value of Landsat 5, since the satellite documented nearly every major event since March 1984 - droughts, floods, volcanic eruptions, the clearing of rainforests, the greening of agricultural fields, and the influence of a human population that grew from less than 5 billion to over 7 billion.īelow is a compilation of notes received about the legacy of Landsat 5. ![]()
