Abstract

One of the more important recent technological advances for scientific research has been the development of a satellite specifically designed to gather information about the earth's resources. Two satellites launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and known as LANDSAT 1 and 2, currently orbit the earth in a systematic fashion every nine days gathering data for virtually every point on the globe. This new source of data has important implications for research on natural resource use.
