Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS)

Project Overall Objective

TIRS is an instrument on the LandSat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), a collaboration between NASA and the US Geological Survey, will provide moderate-resolution (15m-120m, depending on spectral frequency) measurements of the Earth's terrestrial and polar regions in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared. LDCM will provide continuity with the 34-year long Landsat land imaging data set.
