Collection 2
Dec-2020 | CARD4L Landsat Collection 2 marks the second major reprocessing effort on the Landsat archive by the USGS that results in several data product improvements that harness recent advancements in data processing, algorithm development, and data access and distribution capabilities.

GA Landsat Collection 3
Jul-2019
| The United States Geological Survey's (USGS) Landsat satellite program has been capturing images of the Australian continent for more than thirty years. DEA takes the hundreds of thousands of images, prepares them for Australian conditions, and makes adjustments to correct inconsistencies caused by changes in the atmosphere each time an image is captured (i.e. absence or presence of cloud cover), so that the data can be analysed to provide information about our changing continent. This corrected data set is known as Landsat Surface Reflectance, and it forms the basis for many of the other information products produced by DEA. Products derived from the surface reflectance collection include Fractional Cover, Water Observations from Space, the Intertidal Extents Model, and High and Low Tide Composites. Read more

GFOI Coverage Reports
Jul-2017 | The CEOS Space Data Coordination group (SDCG) coordinates space satellite data for CEOS initiatives, such as the Global Forest Observation Initiative (GFOI). In support of the SDCG, the CEOS Systems Engineering Office (SEO) produces historical coverage analyses utilizing the data archives for the Landsat, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 missions. Currently, the SEO produces an individual report for more than 70 GFOI countries (listed below alphabetically).

Landsat Collection 1
Sep-2016 | Landsat Collection 1 consists of Level-1 data products generated from Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI)/Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS), Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), Landsat 4-5 Thematic Mapper (TM)*, and Landsat 1-5 Multispectral Scanner (MSS) instruments.

Landsat MSS ESA Archive
Jan-2013
| The Multi Spectral Scanner (MSS) instrument was carried aboard the Landsat 1 to
5 missions between 1972 and 2013. Global MSS acquisitions ended in 1999, even
though Landsat 4 and 5 were still active. The Multi Spectral Scanner (MSS) on the
Landsat-1 to 5 missions was an opto-mechanical scanning instrument (whiskbroom
technique, unidirectional operation) consisting of a double reflector-type telescope,
scanning mirror, filters, detectors, and associated electronics. The collection is composed of the products acquired at ESA receiving stations
(Fucino, Masplomas, Matera and Kiruna visibility masks). Access is provided through the ESA TPM scheme. Read more

Landsat 5 TM GTC Systematic Processing
Jan-2013
| The Thematic Mapper (TM) instrument was carried aboard Landsat 4 & 5, where it measured surface
radiance and emittance, lands cover state and change. The collection is composed of the products acquired at ESA receiving stations
(Fucino, Masplomas, Matera and Kiruna visibility masks) plus data from the campaign at Chetumal
(Mexico) and Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Libreville (Gabon) and Malindi (Kenya). Access is provided through the ESA TPM scheme. Read more
