NASA reveals plans for Landsat Next Earth-observation satellite with advanced imaging sensors

摘要

U.S. space experts are asking industry to weigh-in on plans to build and launch a next-generation Landsat Earth-observation imaging satellite in the late 2020s with enhanced sensor capabilities. Officials of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., have issued a request for information (RFI2020LandsatNext) for the Landsat Next project, which by late this decade is expected to offer sensors for superspectral land observations with high-spectral and high-resolution imagery of the Earth's surface.
