Summary

Description
English: A flatbed truck carrying the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket payload fairings for NASA’s Landsat 9 satellite departs the Horizontal Integration Facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, on June 3, 2021. The fairings are on their way to the nearby Integrated Processing Facility. The Landsat 9 satellite will launch atop the Atlas V from Vandenberg in September 2021. The launch is being managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy Space Center. Landsat 9 will continue the nearly 50-year legacy of previous Landsat missions. It will monitor key natural and economic resources from orbit. Landsat 9 is managed by the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. It will carry two instruments: the Operational Land Imager 2, which collects images of Earth’s landscapes in visible, near-infrared and shortwave infrared light, and the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2, which measures the temperature of land surfaces. Like its predecessors, Landsat 9 is a joint mission between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.
Date Taken on 3 June 2021
