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.
