Bandas Landsat

This document summarizes the spectral bands and their uses for Landsat satellites 8, 4-5, and 1-5. Landsat 8 has 11 bands including coastal/aerosol, blue, green, red, near infrared, two shortwave infrared bands, a panchromatic band, and two thermal bands for thermal mapping and soil moisture. Landsat 4-5 has 7 bands including blue, green, red, near infrared, two shortwave infrared bands, and a thermal band. Landsat 1-5 has 4 multispectral bands including green, red, and two near infrared bands useful for mapping vegetation, water, and landforms.
