Landsat Missions
On April 21, 2008, the USGS announced plans to provide all archived Landsat scenes at no charge to all users. The Landsat 7 archive will be available in late September 2008, Landsat 5 TM in December 2008, and Landsat 1-5 MSS in January of 2009. View the Technical Announcement - .pdf (66.8 KB)
All scenes will be processed using the parameters shown below, which is the new Standard data product recipe. Scenes that have a quality score of 9 and less than 20 percent cloud cover will continue to be automatically processed, and any archived scene, regardless of cloud cover, will be processed upon request based on the schedule mentioned above.
