USGS Announces Free Satellite Images
November 18, 2009 | USGS

USGS director Marcia McNutt announces, “Our policy of providing free Landsat data supports a central GEO goal: to promote global distribution of earth observation data. With a continuous record of earth observation since 1972, Landsat provides the most complete set of land surface information as well as a vital historical perspective for researchers, decision makers, and commercial users around the world.”
