00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:21.980
the Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) will detect visible and infrared light

11
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.770
Observing the same location every 16 days,

12
00:00:36.790 --> 00:00:37.980


13
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:44.810
OLI-2 will continue five decades of observations

00:00:44.830 --> 00:00:47.170


15
00:00:47.190 --> 00:00:53.259
