Landsat 9 launched into space on September 27th, 2021. The "first light" images arrived on October 31st. On that day the satellite captured: algal blooms in Lake Erie, the glaciers of the Himalayas, bush fires in Australia's Eucalypt Woodlands, coastal communities on the Florida panhandle, and deserts, mountains and mesas across the Navajo Nation.

Landsat 8 thermal infrared (Band 10) image near Ogallala, Nebraska, showing fields with center pivot irrigation. The Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on Landsat 8-9 measures energy radiated by the earth of the surface with two spectral bands that can be used to derive surface temperature.
The image was acquired on August 17, 2021 from Path 31 Row 32.

An optimal opportunity for in-flight cross-calibration occurred when Landsat 9 flew underneath Landsat 8 while moving into its final orbit. Since the two satellites nearly identical imaging systems, the underfly event offered ideal cross-calibration conditions.

Extending from the North Sea to Amsterdam, the North Sea Canal cuts across the landscape in this natural color Landsat 9 image from April 24, 2022. Amsterdam, located on the east end of the canal, is known for its intricate canal system dividing the city into 90 islands. The body of water on the right is part of Markermer Lake.

The largest coral reef ecosystem in the world, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), is threatened by many human-made impacts. Due to the size of the GBR and limited accessibility, mapping and monitoring has always been a challenging task. Remote Sensing is an effective technique that provides valuable information for the GBR ecosystem.

The boreal forest biome is projected to shift northward due to continued climate change over the coming century. Researchers evaluated early indicators of a boreal forest biome shift using four decades of Landsat observation datasets.
