Open Data: Download Landsat 8 data from USGS [EN]
[GIS OpenData] In this video I will talk about how to download Landsat 8 and other geospatial data from USGS.
==== USGS ====
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is a science bureau within the United States Department of the Interior. The USGS provides science about the natural hazards that threaten lives and livelihoods; the water, energy, minerals, and other natural resources we rely on; the health of our ecosystems and environment; and the impacts of climate and land-use change. Our scientists develop new methods and tools to enable timely, relevant, and useful information about the Earth and its processes.
==== Landsat 8 ====
Landsat 8 (first known as the Landsat Data Continuity Mission) was launch on February 11, 2013 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California on an Atlas-V rocket.
The satellite carries the Operational Land Imager and the Thermal Infrared Sensor. earthquake
The Landsat 8 satellite orbits the the Earth in a sun-synchronous, near-polar orbit, at an altitude of 705 km (438 mi), inclined at 98.2 degrees, and circles the Earth every 99 minutes. The satellite has a 16-day repeat cycle with an equatorial crossing time: 10:00 a.m. +/- 15 minutes.
