2013-02-11 Landsat8 launched
The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) was successfully launched off Vandenberg Airforce Base in California. The satellite will later be renamed LANDSAT8 and contains the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) instruments. TIRS is a 2-band thermal sensor which continues the important Landsat data acquisitions with medium spatial resolution (100m). More information can be found on the NASA's LDCM website or the USGS landsat website.
