The Landsat Project is a joint initiative of the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to gather Earth resource data using a series of satellites. NASA was responsible for developing and launching the spacecrafts, while the USGS is responsible for flight operations, maintenance, and management of all ground data reception, processing, archiving, product generation, and distribution. The primary objective of the Landsat Project is to ensure a collection of consistently calibrated Earth imagery. Landsat's Global Survey Mission is to establish and execute a data acquisition strategy that ensures repetitive acquisition of observations over the Earths land mass, coastal boundaries, and coral reefs; and to ensure the data acquired are of maximum utility in supporting the scientific objectives of monitoring changes in the Earths land surface and associated environment.

The nominal resolution is achieved within 30 degrees of nadir. Geodetic accuracy is monitored using calibration scenes containing ground control points. Scenes are first radiometrically and geometrically corrected. Control point locations are then measured on the processed imagery and compared to known ground locations. Any terrain effects are removed analytically in the comparison. The post-calibration geodetic accuracy of systematic ETM+ products is approximately 50 meters which is much better than 250 meter specification placed on the system. Band-to-band registration measures the relative alignment of the eight ETM+ spectral bands after processing to Level 1Gs. Measured registration between the primary and cold focal planes in the line direction is typically 0.08-0.10 pixels, well below the design specification limit of 0.17 pixels. Image registration accuracy is measured using cloud-free images of two separate calibration sites. One meter resolution DOQs were mosaicked and reduced to 15 meter resolution. The image registration assessment was performed in two ways. First, the ETM+ images were compared against the DOQ reference images. This provides a measure of image distortion relative to an absolute reference. The 1 sigma accuracy for registration to DOQs is 4.3 meters along scan and 4.2 meters across scan. Second, two ETM+ scenes were cross correlated. This provides a measure of image distortion that changes scene-to-scene although systematic calibration distortions may cancel out. The 1 sigma accuracy for ETM+ to ETM+ registration is 3.2 meters along scan and 1.9 meters across scan.
