The launch of the earth’s monitoring satellite from California

LOS ANGELES: The latest in a series of US satellites that have recorded human impacts and natural on the surface of the earth for decades was launched into Orbit from California on Monday to ensure sustainable observations in the era of climate change.
Landsat 9 was taken to space in Angkasa Atlas ATLAS ATLAS ATLAS which was appointed from the Vandenberg Foggy room force at 11:12 am.
Satellite separation from the top stage of the rocket is expected in the afternoon.
A NASA and US Geological Survey Project, Landsat 9 will work together with the predecessor, Landsat 8, to extend the land record and observations of nearly 50 years of coastal areas that began with the launch of the first Landsat in 1972.
Landsat 9 will take Landsat orbital tracks 7, which will be disabled.
Landsat 9 brings imaging sensors that will record Visible and other spectrum parts.
It also has a thermal sensor to measure surface temperature.
Capturing changes in the landscape of the planet starting from the growth of the city with the glacier movement, the Landsat program is the look of the longest earth observation of space, according to NASA.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, who went to Vandenberg to see the launch, said the Landsat program gave a “rich data form” that helps people’s daily lives and is very important in dealing with climate change.
“We are in the midst of the current climate crisis, we see that every day – drought, forest fires, storms, Ida storms who destroy the southern part and go far to New England,” Haale said during NASA TV interview.
“Images like the landing 9 will bring back to us will help us really guide us in how we approach climate change, work to ensure that we can make the best decisions, so people have water into the future, that we can grow food We go to the future, “said Haaleland.
Landsat programs have collected more than 9 million multispectral images from landland and coastal areas, according to Jeff Masek, Landsat 9 Project Scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
“Using this note we can really document and understand the changes that have occurred in the soil environment during this period of human activities and natural events,” he told Prelaunch’s direction.
This information has a variety of use in understanding and managing the earth’s resources.
“Landsat is our best source to understand the level of tropical deforestation …
and other forest dynamics such as disturbances from hurricanes, forest fires, insect outbreaks, and recovery of the disorder from time to time,” Masek said.
Landsat is also important to monitor agricultural and food resilience, he said.
“We can show the types of plants that grow in every field in the US and throughout the world,” he said.
“We can also see water consumption with plants.” Landsat 9 Liftoff is a 2,000 launch of Vandenberg since 1958.
Located on the Pacific Coast northwest of Los Angeles, his position is ideal for testing ballistic missiles and placing satellites to polar orbits.
