Earth as Art Showcased at Landsat 9 Satellite Launch.

Landsat 9 Rocket and Satellite Launch | September 20-23, 2021

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Regional Application has been invited by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Landsat 9 satellite launch at Vandenberg Air Space Base in California during the week of September 16, 2021, to display the university’s “Earth as Art” satellite images traveling gallery exhibit.

The exhibit will be displayed at all events leading up to the Landsat 9 launch. The team created gigantic floor puzzles of the city and landscape surrounding the launch site on behalf of the USGS, for the children of the Lompoc/Santa Barbara area and plan to gift it to the city and school system. The students are eager to share their work in support of the university’s Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) initiative and ignite the public’s curiosity about remotely sensed imagery.
