LandSat-9 | Landsat 9 will carry the same instruments that are on the
Landsat 8 satellite but with some improvements:
- Operational
Land Imager-2 (OLI-2) for reflective band data.
- Thermal
Infrared Sensor-2 (TIRS-2) for the thermal infrared bands.
- OLI-2 will
have a slightly improved signal-to-noise ratio over Landsat 8's OLI.
- Landsat
9’s TIRS-2 is a Class-B instrument with a five-year design life and a key
improvement of stray light correction, an issue that was discovered on
Landsat 8’s TIRS (Landsat 8's TIRS is a Class-C instrument with a
three-year design life).
- As with
Landsat 8, Landsat 9 will have higher imaging capacity than previous
Landsat missions, allowing for more valuable Earth observations to be
added into the USGS Landsat archive.
