45th anniversary of the launch of the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (renamed Landsat 1)

From U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):

Our Landsat image of the day recognizes the 45th anniversary of the launch of the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (renamed Landsat 1) on July 23, 1972. Soon after, the first of millions of Landsat images arrived. The first image in the Landsat archive is this false-color image of Dallas, Texas.

During our month-long focus on mapping, we'll be posting a daily image from the Image of the Week archive at eros.usgs.gov. Come on over to see more images, or go here to learn more about Landsat: landsat.usgs.gov #USGS #Science#SatelliteImagery #Mapping #Dallas #Texas
