Abstract

Landsat 9 is planned for launch in December 2020 to continue the mission of observing changes on the Earth’s surface that began in 1972 with the launch of Landsat 1. Like Landsat 8, Landsat 9 will carry two imaging instruments: Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2), designed and built by Ball Aerospace**, and Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2), manufactured by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). As of this writing, both sensors have completed the instrument-level ground testing and are ready for integration into the spacecraft. Data collected during the pre-launch performance testing are analyzed to assess the usability of responses of the video reference pixels (VRPs) located on the focal planes of OLI-2 and Landsat 8 OLI for more accurate detector bias estimates, develop a methodology to correct for nonlinearities in the OLI-2 response and compare it to the OLI correction approach, and determine the spatial performance of TIRS-2.
