The recent launch of the Landsat-9 satellite by NASA and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) marks a small step forward in the study and understanding the Earth's surface. CREAF followed this charismatic event live and took the opportunity to bring remote sensing technologies closer to society.
The IDEES Journal, published by the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Issues.
