The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) is the future of Landsat satellites. It will continue to obtain valuable data and imagery to be used in agriculture, education, business, science, and government.
The Landsat Program provides repetitive acquisition of high resolution multispectral data of the Earth's surface on a global basis. The data from the Landsat spacecraft constitute the longest record of the Earth's continental surfaces as seen from space. It is a record unmatched in quality, detail, coverage, and value.

LDCM Preliminary Design Review Held
July 18 - The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) conducted a successful Preliminary Design Review (PDR) the week of July 14 - 17, in Linthicum, MD receiving only nine requests for action (RFAs) from the independent Standing Review Board (SRB). Two of the strengths the SRB noted were the "exceptionally high quality" people on LDCM across all mission elements and their ability to work "effectively together to resolve issues and challenges within and across all organizations."

Landsat Used to Examine Wood Supply Uncertainty
July 21 - As members of the forest products industry continue to reduce their landholdings, monitoring reliable future timber supplies becomes an increasingly important issue. Landsat data have been used to create forest age and type maps with temporal origins as early as 1972 to as recent as 2007.
