Landsat MSS ESA Archive

The acquired Landsat MSS scene covers approximately 183 x 172.8 km. A standard full scene is nominally centred on the intersection between a path and row (the actual image centre can vary by up to 200m).

The altitude changed from 917 Km to 705 km and therefore two World Reference Systems (WRS) were. A full image is composed of 3460 pixels x 2880 lines with a pixel size of 60m. Level 1 Geometrically and terrain corrected GTC products (L1T) are available: it is the most accurate level of processing as it incorporates Ground Control Points (GCPs) and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to provide systematic geometric and topographic accuracy, with geodetic accuracy dependent on the number, spatial distribution and accuracy of the GCPs over the scene extent, and the resolution of the DEM used.
