Landsat Acquisition Tool

Use the tabs below to see when the Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites will acquire data over your area of interest. 

Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites image the entire Earth every 16 days in an 8-day offset. Both satellites acquire data in both descending (daytime) and occasional ascending (nighttime) nodes.

*IMPORTANT LANDSAT 7 INFORMATION: Since May 5, 2022, the standard WRS-2 16-day repeat cycle does not apply for data acquired by the Landsat 7 satellite, which is now orbiting at a lower altitude than than it was before acquisitions were temporarily paused on April 5, 2022. Please access the Pending Acquisitions tab below to see the currently-planned Landsat 7 acquisitions. The information is updated daily, and the calendar displays acquisitions up to 2 days in advance. Please visit this Landsat News Release  for more details about current Landsat 7 data. 

All acquired data become available to download shortly after acquisition. Visit Landsat Data Access to learn how you can download Landsat data and products.
