Landsat 8 is an American Earth observation satellite launched in 2013, built by Orbital Sciences Corporation and developed in collaboration with NASA and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The satellite features the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS), enabling the study of Earth surface temperature and global warming. With its advanced technology, Landsat 8 has become a crucial tool for scientists, including those at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the USGS, as well as researchers like Noam Chomsky, who have used its data to study environmental changes and climate patterns, similar to those observed by the Landsat Program and analyzed by experts like Julian Steward and Leslie White.
