This page contains philatelic information on the ERTS (Earth Resources Technology Satellite) / Landsat (LAND SATellite) series. Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the satellites featured are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
Early Landsat-1/2/3 type spacecraft are similar in design to Nimbus spacecraft, but are distinguished by different instrumentation on the spacecraft body and context of use.
During the second half of the Apollo-9 mission, in the period 8-13 March 1969, the hatch window of the CSM (Command and Service Module) was used for special photography of Earth, using four identical linked Hasselblad cameras, each of which was loaded with film sensitive to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. This procedure allowed various features of Earth's surface, such as certain vegetation and agricultural areas, and water pollution moving from the mouths of rivers to the sea, to be emphasized. The camera system was a prototype, and paved the way for equipment carried by the early ERTS / Landsat spacecraft.
