The first Landsat satellite began beaming views of our planet back to Earth in 1972. Since then, five more of these satellites have delivered millions of new images from more than 400 miles in space. The Earth is covered by new Landsat images every sixteen days. Scientists, planners, and land managers use these to study the world's agriculture, geology, forests, and more. The Satellite View map is a colorful mosaic of dozens of Landsat images. And we've added in terrain information so that the landforms of the Conterminous States are apparent too.
