Origins of Landsat satellite


ERTS-1 (Earth Resources Technology Satellite) 23rd of july 1972

After a certain
number of
revolutions around
the Earth

Landsat Ground Stations

A multitude of satellites
It is difficult to enumerate the number of satellites
which turn around the Earth

Civilian or military
Active or wrecks
Telecommunications
Television
Meteorology
Earth-watching satellites

A. SERRADJ, CLUJ 2012

Civilian Applications
That is mean the programs for which the product (image)
is in theory accessible for every applicant
versus payment of fees or costs!
For example:
Spot scene costs around 1900 (60x60 km)
Ikonos image costs around 18$ km with a minimum
order of 25 km

The disruptive environment


The atmosphere alters
the signal in its double
route:
source target

target sensor
For the common
applications, we shall
assume that this
disturbance is almost
the same for all the
objects; we can thus
occult it.
