This week we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Landsat program. One of the most underrated programs in space flight. And to do this we’re joined by two Landsat scientists: Dr Jim Irons, former director of the Earth Science Division at NASA Goddard and Dr Jeff Masek, Landsat 9 project scientist since 2015.
