Salton Sea one of the Gap-Filled  products soon from the USGS
This image is a preview of the new Gap-Filled products that will soon be available from the USGS. The left image is path 39 row 37, acquired over Salton Sea in southern California on 9/17/2003, and shows the scan gaps caused by the failed Scan Line Corrector (SLC). The right image is the same data, but with the gaps filled by data acquired 9/14/2002. More....
Humans have always sought higher ground from which to survey their surroundings. We have progressed from climbing trees and hills to viewing the Earth from air and spacecraft. With each improved vantage point, we have gained a new understanding of our geospatial relevance, and we have now come to rely on remotely sensed data as a tool to understand the Earth's land surfaces.

For decades, the USGS has been a world leader in providing remotely sensed data and demonstrating its scientific applications. The USGS acquires, processes, archives, and distributes Landsat and other satellite and airborne remotely sensed data products to users worldwide. Today, the USGS operates and manages the Landsats 5 and 7 satellite missions and cooperates with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to define and implement future satellite missions. In 2002, the USGS reaffirmed its commitment to remote sensing science by launching the Land Remote Sensing Program (LRS Program). By providing remotely sensed data, analysis and applications, the LRS Program serves as a cornerstone to The National Map. The LRS Program is defined by three major components: satellite missions; products, data preservation, and access; and research and applications.
