Is Landsat 7 still operational?
Landsat 7 Scan Line Corrector (SLC) Failure On May 31, 2003, the Scan Line Corrector (SLC), which compensates for the forward motion of the satellite, failed. Subsequent efforts to recover the SLC were not successful, and the failure is permanent.

What is the radiometric resolution of Landsat 7?
6 bit

|---|---|---|
| Swath width | 185 km | 185 km |
| Spatial resolution | 80 m | 15 m PAN 30 m VNIR/SWIR 60 m TIR |
| Radiometric resolution | 6 bit | 9 bit (8 bit transmitted) |

How do you find radiometric resolution?
The number of digital values possible in an image is equal to the number two (2 – for binary codings in a computer) raised to the exponent of the number of bits in the image (i.e. 2# of bits). The number of values in a 6-bit image would be equal to 26 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64.
What is the resolution of Landsat 7?
30 meters
Landsat 7 ETM+ images consist of eight spectral bands with a spatial resolution of 30 meters for bands 1 to 7. The panchromatic band 8 has a resolution of 15 meters.
What is meant by radiometric resolution?
Radiometric resolution refers to how much information is in a pixel and is expressed in units of bits. A single bit of information represents a binary decision of yes or no, with a mathematical value of 1 or 0.
What is the radiometric resolution?
The radiometric resolution of an imaging system describes its ability to discriminate very slight differences in energy The finer the radiometric resolution of a sensor, the more sensitive it is to detecting small differences in reflected or emitted energy.
What is the radiometric resolution for Landsat 7 ETM?
Landsat 7 ETM+ images consist of eight spectral bands with a spatial resolution of 30 meters for bands 1 to 7. The panchromatic band 8 has a resolution of 15 meters.
What are the main features of Landsat 7?
The primary features on Landsat 7 include a panchromatic band with 15 meter spatial resolution, an onboard full aperture solar calibrator, five percent absolute radiometric calibration, and a thermal infrared channel with a four-fold improvement in spatial resolution over Thematic Mapper (TM).
What type of calibration is on-board in Landsat 7?
On-board calibration was added to Landsat 7: a Full Aperture Solar Calibrator (FASC) and a Partial Aperture Solar Calibrator (PASC), in addition to the 2 calibration lamps Landsat 7 data products are consistent with all Landsat standard data products, using the specifications described on the Landsat Processing Details page.
What is a Landsat data user Handbook?
Landsat Data Users Handbooks provide a basic understanding of each Landsat mission, the spacecraft and sensors, data processing systems, and the resulting products created and made available for download.
What happened to Landsat 7 ETM+ data from USGS?
*This document contains information specific to Landsat 7 ETM+ data that were processed as ‘Pre-Collection’ data products. Landsat 7 Pre-Collection data are no longer available from USGS, and superseded by the now standard Landsat 7 Collection 1 Level-1 data product.
