LANDSAT 8 NY2O Tracker

NORAD ID: 39084 Int'l Code: 2013-008A Perigee: 708.6 km Apogee: 710.7 km Inclination: 98.2 ° Period: 98.8 minutes Semi major axis: 7080 km RCS: 7.8572 m<sup style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial;">2</sup> (large) Launch date: February 11, 2013Source: United States (US)Launch site: AIR FORCE WESTERN TEST RANGE (AFWTR)The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey, will provide moderate-resolution (15 m -100 m, depending on spectral frequency) measurements of the Earth's terrestrial and polar regions in the visible, near-infrared, short wave infrared, and thermal infrared. LDCM will provide continuity with the 40-year long Landsat land imaging data set. In addition to widespread routine use for land use planning and monitoring on regional to local scales, support of disaster response and evaluations, and water use monitoring, LDCM measurements directly serve NASA research in the focus areas of climate, carbon cycle, ecosystems, water cycle, biogeochemistry, and Earth surface/interior.
