Landsat, a joint program of the USGS and NASA, has been observing the Earth continuously from 1972 through the present day. Today the Landsat satellites image the entire Earth's surface at a 30-meter resolution about once every two weeks, including multispectral and thermal data. The USGS produces data in 3 categories for each satellite (Tier 1, Tier 2 and RT). Read more about the different tiers.
