The Operational Land Imager (OLI), built by the Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation, measures in the visible, near infrared, and short wave infrared portions of the spectrum.

The Operational Land Imager (OLI) is a remote sensing instrument aboard Landsat 8, built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies. Landsat 8 is the successor to Landsat 7 and was launched on February 11, 2013.

The Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard Landsat 8 measures in the visible, near infrared, and shortwave infrared portions of the spectrum. Its images cover wide areas of Earth's landscape while providing sufficient resolution to distinguish features like urban centers, farms, forests, and other land uses.

Landsat 8 (formerly the Landsat Data Continuity Mission, or LDCM) was launched on an Atlas-V rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California on February 11, 2013. The satellite carries the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) instruments.

Mar 4, 2020 · The Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) are onboard the Landsat 8 satellite and have acquired images of the Earth since February 2013. …

Mar 31, 2024 · Landsat 9's OLI-2 instrument was characterized in unprecedented detail using a new laser-based method of in-band spectral response testing. A continuous relative spectral response dataset and pre-launch testing details have been published in a recent paper.

OLI-2 has a 15-degree field-of-view covering a 185 km (115 mi) across-track ground swath. Landsat 9’s photosensitive detectors are divided into 14 modules. There are ~7000 across-track detectors for each OLI-2 spectral band, except the 15-m (49 ft) panchromatic band that has 13,000 detectors.

Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). Band wavelengths and band uses.

The Operational Land Imager (OLI), on board Landsat-8 measures in the visible, near infrared, and short wave infrared portions of the spectrum. Its images have 15 m panchromatic and 30 m multi-spectral spatial resolutions along a 185 km wide swath, covering wide areas of the Earth’s landscape while providing sufficient resolution to ...

The satellite acquires all day-lit descending land images between 57° North and 57° South, and on average 90% day-lit descending land images at higher latitudes; combined to approximately 725 images per day. Night, ocean, and day-lit ascending …
