Since the launch of its first satellite in 1972, the Landsat series has provided the longest record of land surface remote sensing from space. This kiosk exhibit commemorated Landsat's 40 years of monitoring and observing the dynamic processes at work on the Earth's surface.

This display was made possible by a collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey.
