Five Decades of Observation

2
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:09,950
At least one Landsat satellite has been orbiting Earth since 1972

3
00:00:09,950 --> 00:00:14,270
 -- that’s nearly 50 years of steadfast observation.

4
00:00:14,270 --> 00:00:16,650
That first Landsat proved we could gather

5
00:00:16,650 --> 00:00:19,130
digitally-encoded data from space, 

6
00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:20,160


7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,350
and changed the way we look at Earth forever.

00:00:23,350 --> 00:00:32,100


9
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:35,810
Never-before seen snapshots of land resources and the environment 

10
00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:40,160
would be key for critical decision-making decades into the future.
