EarthSat GeoCover

Up one level

GeoCover-Ortho (Orthorectified) products are the actual satellite images derived from Landsat TM scenes and are the most accurate, commercially available base maps of the world. GeoCover-LC (Land Cover) products consist of a medium resolution land cover database, prepared from consistently orthorectified Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery.

EarthSat GeoCover Project
In August of 1998, NASA contracted with MDA (then EarthSat) to produce positionally accurate orthorectified Landsat Thematic Mapper and Multispectral Scanner imagery covering the majority of the Earth's land mass.
