We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Featured Surface Radiative Properties Observation Method: OLI
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) flies aboard NASA's Landsat 8 satellite, and an identical instrument, OLI-2, flies aboard Landsat 9. It measures in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the spectrum, covering wide areas of Earth's landscape. Data products derived from OLI include a surface reflectance product.
Use NASA's Application for Extracting and Exploring Analysis Ready Samples (AppEEARS) tool to access data for an area of interest.
Launched September 27, Landsat 9 will provide a high-quality and reliable stream of land imaging data for the next 10-plus years.
10 MIN READ
Users can now integrate HLS True Color and False Color Composite Imagery from Landsat 9 in addition to Landsat 8.
