Landsat 5 bands

Seven spectral bands, including a thermal band:

• Band 1 Visible (0.45 - 0.52 µm) 30 m.
• Band 2 Visible (0.52 - 0.60 µm) 30 m.
• Band 3 Visible (0.63 - 0.69 µm) 30 m.
• Band 4 Near-Infrared (0.76 - 0.90 µm) 30 m.
• Band 5 Near-Infrared (1.55 - 1.75 µm) 30 m.
• Band 6 Thermal (10.40 - 12.50 µm) 120 m.

What are the Landsat bands?

Operational Land Imager (OLI)

Landsat 8 bands from the OLI sensor are coastal, blue, green, red, NIR, SWIR-1, SWIR-2 and cirrus. These 8 bands have a ground resolution of 30 meters.

Is Landsat 5 Still operational?

After 29 years in space, Landsat 5 was officially decommissioned on June 5, 2013. Near the end of its mission, Landsat 5's use was hampered by equipment failures, and it was largely superseded by Landsat 7 and Landsat 8.

When did Landsat 5 stop?

The Landsat 5 satellite was in orbit for nearly 29 years, and collected more than 2.8 million scenes. Normal operations for the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) ceased in November 2011. After failing to recover the electronics that led to its suspension, acquisitions were initiated with the Multi-Spectral Scanner (MSS).

What types of light does Landsat detect?

Landsat 8 is an Earth observation satellite built, launched and operated by a collaboration of NASA and USGS. Data survey is performed by two main sensors which are adjusted into prescribed bands. The satellite operates in visible light, near InfraRed; ShortWave InfraRed to Thermal (LongWave) infrared.

What are bands in remote sensing?

Bands and Wavelengths

Spectral remote sensing data are collected by powerful camera-like instruments known as imaging spectrometers. Imaging spectrometers collect reflected light energy in “bands.” A band represents a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum. You can think of it as a bin of one “type” of light.

How many bands are there in Landsat 5?

Seven spectral bands, including a thermal band: Band 1 Visible (0.45 - 0.52 µm) 30 m.

Which band is best for vegetation?

Band 4 (0.76 - 0.90u m): operates in the best spectral region to distinguish vegetation varieties and conditions.

How many landsats are there?

Landsat 7 was launched in 1999 followed by Landsat 8, launched on February 11, 2013. Both Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 are currently in orbit and collecting data. Landsat 9 is in development, and has a launch readiness date of mid-2021.

What satellite has been in space the longest?

The Vanguard 1 satellite and upper launch stage hold the record for being in space longer than any other human-made object, and as such have traveled farther over the Earth's surface than any other human-made object.

What is the Landsat 7 used for?

Landsat 7 is the seventh satellite of the Landsat program. Launched on 15 April 1999, Landsat 7's primary goal is to refresh the global archive of satellite photos, providing up-to-date and cloud-free images.

How long was Landsat 5 Operational?

Outliving its three-year design life, Landsat 5 delivered high-quality, global data of Earth's land surface for 28 years and 10 months. NASA launched Landsat 5 from Vandenberg Air Force base in Lompoc, Calif. on March 1, 1984.

When did Landsat 8 launch?

Landsat 8 (formally the Landsat Data Continuity Mission, LDCM) was launched on an Atlas-V rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California on February 11, 2013. Landsat 8 is the most recently launched Landsat satellite and carries the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) instruments.
