Question:
Why are there so few international Landsat scenes available from USGS?
Answer:
The USGS Global Visualization tool will only display scenes from the USGS archive. For many locations outside the U.S., there may be scenes that were collected by the sensor but the data is not archived or distributed by the USGS EROS Data Center. These scenes may still be available from other International Ground Stations. Please note that this data is not a product of the USGS EROS Data Center, and therefore the prices, available formats, and/or processing options may vary according to the data provider.
