One of the most exciting #IGARSS2023 posters: an early glimpse at Copernicus EU's Sentinel-2 Next Generation Mission ( #S2NG )!
Some possible improvements:
🔍5 m res RGB/NIR bands!
🌈New visible + SWIR bands to align with #LandsatNext
🌊Expanded ocean coverage
📅Mid 2030s launch
🛰🌍 Step back for a full picture!
NASA Landsat / USGS Landsat satellites have documented Earth’s surfaces for decades! This year in review is worthy of reflection.
The most recent launch was Landsat 9 in Sept. 2021 & we’re looking ahead to LandsatNext, a trio of satellites!
Let #WorldWaterDay be a reminder to acknowledge the role #EarthObservationSatellites play in monitoring valuable water resources. #LandsatNext will include new and enhanced capabilities that will improve water management and conservation. Learn more here: ow.ly/Un2t50QZU2g
Ideas on using #hyperspectral #imagery for monitoring #CyanoHABs ? We investigated this using a suite of well-known #Machinelearning algorithms for existing and future satellites #PACE #LandsatNext : ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…
On January 5, 2024,US Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and USGS Director David Applegate met to talk about current #Landsat missions, #Landsat Next and the Landsat 2030 Partnerships Initiative. 🛰️📷
A recording of their discussion is now available: ow.ly/moxW50QpCEe.
.NASA Goddard has released a draft RFP for the instrument suite of #LandsatNext , a next-generation satellite constellation intended to collect space-based imagery of Earth’s land surface.
