Eight of the spectral bands are recorded at 30 m spatial resolution, while one spectral band (band 8 in fact) is recorded at 15 m spatial resolution. OLI has 9 spectral bands (‘it can see (record) nine different colors at the time’). Here we show you some images from the OLI instrument. NASA’s Landsat program is a series of Earth observing satellites operating since 1972 almost continuously! The first Landsat 8 scene was released on Ma– just a few month’s ago! Landsat 8 carries two push-broom instruments: the Operational Land Imager (OLI), and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). On July 5, 2013, Landsat 8 observed the Kytalyk area under an almost cloud-free scenario*. In it’s regular acquisition scheme, Landsat 8 maps the same location on Earth every 16 days.
