Landsat 6, equipped with upgraded versions of the instruments on Landsat 5, was designed to carry forward the Landsat program. It was launched on October 5, 1993, with a Titan II launch vehicle, but failed to reach orbit.

Landsat 6 launched on October 5, 1993 on a Titan II rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, but did not achieve orbit. The satellite carried the Enhanced Thematic Mapper, an improved version of the instruments on Landsat 4 and Landsat 5, and included a 15-meter panchromatic band.

Landsat 6 carried an Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM). The ETM sensor would have collected data in the same seven spectral bands and at the same spatial resolutions as the TM instrument on Landsats 4 and 5. The ETM instrument also included an eighth band with a …

While the earlier satellites carried just one sensor, Landsat 8 was designed to acquire data in a total of 11 bands from two separate sensors: the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS). Landsat 9 carries improved copies of the Landsat 8 sensors.

1993年10月5日 · Landsat-6 Satellite (Image credit: NASA) Summary Mission Capabilities. Landsat-6 was designed to carry a single sensor, Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM), which would image seven visible and near-infrared (VNIR) bands and one panchromatic band.

Landsat 6 was an upgraded version of its predecessors. Carrying the same Multi spectral Scanner (MSS) but also carrying an Enhanced Thematic Mapper, which added a 15m resolution panchromatic band. Landsat 7

A panel of experts reviewing the failure of Landsat 6 has concluded that the satellite did not achieve orbit because of a ruptured hydrazine manifold, the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said today.

The Landsat 6 satellite continued the series of operational Earth resource monitoring spacecraft begun with Landsat 1 in 1972. Landsat 6 differed from previous Landsat missions in that it carried only one remote sensing instrument - The Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM).
