An Overview of LANDSAT-4 and the Thematic MapperThe LANDSAT 4 satellite and its orbit, the Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor design, and the ground processing of TM data are discussed. The design of LANDSAT 4 incorporates several technological advancements which include the TM. The TM offers refinements over the familiar Multispectral Scanners (MSS's) aboard all of the LANDSAT satellites in terms of spatial, spectral, and radiometric resolutions. The TM data undergo radiometric and geometric corrections on the ground to provide investigators with pictorial and digital image data products.
