Landsat 9 was successfully launched on Monday, Sept. 27, 2021 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Landsat 9 data is publicly available from USGS.

The mission is a partnership between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey which continues the Landsat program’s role in monitoring, understanding and managing the land resources needed to sustain human life.

Landsat is the only U.S. satellite system designed and operated to repeatedly observe the global land surface at a moderate scale that shows both natural and human-induced change.
