Welcome to the Landsat Legacy Project Website.The Landsat Legacy ProjectSince the project’s inception in 1965, Landsat has stood at the forefront of space-based Earth observation and has been the trailblazer for remote sensing as we know it today. But the forty-year history of Landsat has been tumultuous. The program has been variously administrated by a multitude of government agencies and a private company; consequently, the program documentation has become widely disseminated over the course of the seven Landsat missions.In an effort to gather Landsat’s technical documentation, the NASA Landsat Project Science Office (LPSO) is teaming with the U.S. Geological Survey and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Library to create an archive of essential Landsat documentation. The archive, dubbed the Landsat Legacy, will house technical-, policy- and science-related documents with an emphasis on internal technical papers. Journal articles and other privately copyrighted materials are outside the scope of the project. It is the project’s ultimate goal to have an online freely-accessible archive of Landsat documentation that can be used by the general public by late 2009. The Document DonationIf you have landsat-related documentation in your personal archive that you would like to donate to the Landsat legacy project, please contact Shaida Johnston or Laura Rocchio.Important LinksNASA Landsat HomepageUSGS Landsat Homepage NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Library >> Begin Data Search (temporarily NASA Goddard only) Site hosted by the Goddard Library and the Landsat Project Science Office. |
