Retro Space HD | Earth Resources Technology Satellite (Landsat 1), NASA, 1973, ERTS, Documentary, Environment, Full @RetroSpaceHD | Uploaded May 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
A 1973 NASA full documentary about the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS, later Landsat 1). Satellite operation (orbit, instruments, image reception, and processing) is shown, along with early remote sensing images taken using its multispectral sensors. Usage of such images in environment, planning, geology, and other fields are shown. Landsat 1 images were used in the first study of the Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), now a ubiquitous measure of global plant greenness.
Clean up, color correction, remaster and HD upscale by Retro Space HD.
=========================================
Landsat 1 (LS-1), formerly named ERTS-A and ERTS-1, was the first satellite of the United States' Landsat program. It was a modified version of the Nimbus 4 meteorological satellite and was launched on July 23, 1972, by a Delta 900 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
It was the first satellite to carry a Multispectral Scanner.
The near-polar orbiting spacecraft served as a stabilized, Earth-oriented platform for obtaining information on agricultural and forestry resources, geology and mineral resources, hydrology and water resources, geography, cartography, environmental pollution, oceanography and marine resources, and meteorological phenomena.
