  3. Landsat 1st Generation

  4. Landsat 1st Generation Orbit Characterization Orbit: Sun-syncronous Inclination: 99.1 Period: 103.3 min Equatorial crossing time: 9:42 A.M. Revisit time: 18 days Altitude: ~900 km Field of View (FOV): 185 km Radiometric resolution: 6 bit

  6. Orbits

  7. Time of equatorial crossing • Why 9:42 A.M.? • At that time: • Solar irradiance is rather high; • The shadows are reduced (except in winter). • It also statistically correspond to a period that minimizes the impact of morning fog and of afternoon convection.

  8. Path and Row • World Reference System-2 (WRS-2) • Divides earth into 233 paths (orbits) • Each path is divided into 248 rows • 57784 possible scenes; ~14,000 “land ” scenes

  9. Sidelap “Sidelap” is a function of latitude
