Additional information

The start date is based on launch of Landsat MSS. Data is continuously updated by existing or new satellites. Update varies with sensor temporal resolution. The level of spatial detail will vary with sensor: MSS 80m; TM 30m; SPOT 20m; ERS 12.5m; Radarsat 8m; ETM 15m. Different sensors record data from different wavebands; some are active, some are passive

 

Distribution Information
