Interpreting Landsat Images
Grade 5-8

How do satellites that orbit Earth day after day, year after year without any astronauts there to take the pictures and bring them home get their pictures down to earth?  We get images from satellites every day.  You see them on the evening news showing us thunderstorms and hurricanes. How did they get those images?
