The Landsat program has been taking place for almost 42 years. This is the most continuous project of collecting satellite imagery. Last year, 11 February 2013, the Landsat 8 was launched on the Atlas V spacecraft.
To sum this up, this particular satellite has 11 spectral bands, and 2 of those bands will be collecting data related to water quality and the high cirrus clouds. 7 spectral bands will be compatible with sensors found on older Landsat satellites.
