Landsat 9 Mission Overview

Mission Objectives

• Provide continuity in the multi-decadal Landsat land surface observations to study, predict, and understand the consequences of land surface dynamics

• Core Component of Sustainable Land Imaging Program

Increase in pivot irrigation in Saudi Arabia from 1987 to 2012 as recorded by

Landsat. The increase in irrigated land correlates with declining groundwater

levels measured from GRACE (courtesy M. Rodell, GSFC)

Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2)

•Contract with Ball Aerospace in Boulder CO established in December 2015

•OLI-2 successfully completed Critical Design Review in August 2016

• Instrument in fabrication at Ball Aerospace

•On target for mid-2019 delivery to spacecraft Assembled Landsat 8 OLI at Ball Aerospace facility

OLI-2 will, to the extent possible, be a copy of OLI for Landsat 9 to

maintain data continuity with Landsat 8 and to minimize cost and risk

Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2)

•NASA GSFC TIRS-2

team formed in 2015

•TIRS-2 successfully

completed Critical

Design Review in

February 2017

• Instrument in fabrication

at NASA GSFC

•On target for mid-2019

delivery to spacecraft

TIRS-2 Improvements

• Increased redundancy to satisfy Class B reliability standards

• Improved stray light performance through improved telescope baffling

• Improved position encoder for scene select mirror to address problematic encoder on Landsat 8 TIRS

TIRS-2 will be a rebuild of Landsat 8 TIRS except TIRS-2 will be upgraded

from Risk Class C to Class B for Landsat 9

Spacecraft Bus

•Contract competitively awarded to Orbital ATK in Gilbert, AZ in October 2016

•Spacecraft successfully completed System Requirements Review in February 2017

•Preliminary Design Review planned for July 18-20, 2017

•Targeting readiness to integrate OLI-2 and TIRS-2 in mid-2019

Landsat 9 spacecraft will be similar to that of Landsat 8, and it will also draw on

component heritage from ICESat-2 and JPSS-2 missions
