Talk:Landsat 7

Untitled
One thing I noticed was that the movie Battleship referenced a satellite named Landsat 7 so someone may want to add that in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.236.198 (talk) 23:42, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Do we need an article here?

I'm not sure. I thought about simply going to all 36 articles that link to it and redirect them to Landsat program instead.

the problem is, that pretty much every photo from landsat that anyone posts is likely to have a link to landsat 7........ like the articles for Hong Kong and Dallas and Manila and so on. So, I think we do. or I wouldn't have created it. Rick Boatright 03:51, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)


 * I've rewritten this article, adding more technical information and pictures. Stub removed. Nick04 12:53, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * Good Job!!! are you going to do the other landsat sats? Rick Boatright 18:28, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * And we got a whole page of stuff at Earth Observing System too. Only Landsat 7 and Terra have articles right now. -- Decumanus 18:38, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * Long time replying :) I'll probably get round to fleshing out the Landsat articles, espcially now that NASA have released WorldWind to the public (so I'd expect a lot more interest in the program). Nick04 11:52, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Update: LandSat 6 now completed in a stubby form. Couldn't find a mission patch for LandSat 6 (did one ever exist?)... Nick04 18:10, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

...2 down, 2 to go. 4 and 5 now finally created, with image. Nick04 20:54, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

''Other .. true color 15-meter .. products built from the NASA Landsat 7 imagery include .... and a product of i-cubed used in World Wind.'' It seems to me, that I've read somewhere, that i-cubed's LS7 is also in MS Virtual Earth, but can't find that info again, so rather haven't included it into the article being not sure it's really so. .

Can anyone add :
 * in what way was EO-1 its companion ? How did they work together ?
 * the primary mission was 5 years. How has LS-7 lasted 19 years (when EO-1 only lasted 10) ?
 * was the ETM+ instrument used on other satellites ?
 * what other instruments were there ? Diagram points to an Earth Sensor Assembly; is that distinct from the ETM+ ?
 * was it designed for refuelling (eg by the Restore-L mission) ? In what way ?
