| Sensor Description
| Multi Spectral Scanner -(Taken from the USGS site at the link given below)
The Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) was a sensor onboard Landsats 1 through
5 and acquired images of the Earth nearly continuously from July 1972 to
October 1992, with an 18-day repeat cycle for Landsats 1 through 3 and a 16-day
repeat cycle for Landsats 4 and 5.
Landsat MSS image data consist of four spectral bands (band designations),
although the specific band designations changed between Landsats 1-3 and
Landsats 4-5. The resolution for all bands of 79 m, and approximate scene size
is 170 km north-south by 185 km east-west (106 mi by 115 miles).
Most Landsat MSS data are available as digital products, but for some MSS
scenes, data are only available as a high resolution scans of film separates,
one for each band. Scanned digital products are distributed as individual
GeoTIFF files for each band.
