The Landsat program consists of a series of optical/infrared remote sensing satellites for land observation. The program was first started by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1972, then turned over to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) after it became operational. Since 1984, satellite operation and data handling were managed by a commercial company EOSAT. However, all data older than 2 years return to "public domain" and are distributed by the Earth Resource Observation System (EROS) Data Center of the US Geological Servey (USGS).
The first satellite in the series, LANDSAT-1 (initially named as the Earth Resource Technology Satellite ERTS-1) was launched on 23 July 1972. The satellite had a designed life expectancy of 1 year but it ceased operation only on January 1978. LANDSAT-2 was launched on 22 January 1975 and three additional LANDSAT satellites were launched in 1978, 1982, and 1984 (LANDSAT-3, 4, and 5 respectively). LANDSAT-6 was launched on October 1993 but the satellite failed to obtain orbit. A new satellite LANDSAT-7 was launched in 15 April 1999. Currently, only LANDSAT-5 and 7 are operational.
