Here is advancement in the GIS world. With the Landsat
Mission that has been available for about four decades, Scientists and
researchers in the GIS field have benefited from the services available on the Landsat
system. This has helped us understand our home “Earth” better by monitoring the
changes both in natural and human activities. This has been possible by
assisting the people to view the world beyond what the human sight can
perceive. The Landsat 8 is much advanced than its predecessors having high
precision and modern sensors. Using the Landsat 7 and Landsat 8, more
scientific tasks will be achieved as the two can now provide the required data
wherever needed. The Landsat mission will document various phenomena such as
volcanic eruptions and forest fires.
