Summary
| Description | Description: Every legacy has a compelling origin. The NASA and USGS Landsat program is the intellectual and technical product of eight generations of Landsat missions, spanning nearly 50 years. Episode One answers the question “why?” Why did the specific years between 1962 and 1972 call for a such a mission? Why did leadership across agencies commit to its development? Why was the knowledge it could reveal important to the advancing study of earth science? Like any worthwhile endeavor, Landsat encountered its fair share of resistance. Episode one explores how those challenges were overcome with the launch of Landsat 1, signifying a bold step into a new paradigm. http://go.nasa.gov/LandsatLegacy Additional footage courtesy of Gordon Wilkinson/Texas Archive of the Moving Image and the US Geological Survey.
