LANDSAT D: Applications development laboratory study
As the Earth Resources Program has matured through the LANDSAT spacecraft it has begun the transition from an experimental research activity to a sound demonstration of proven utility. This important transition will be complete with the LANDSAT D system which incorporates several key improvements over the current system. These improvements, based on experience with the existing LANDSATs, will provide new capabilities in the spacecraft, the sensor, the ground system, and the overall system design.
