The USGS makes Landsat 9 data available from the Landsat archive beginning today
...
The recently deployed Landsat 9 satellite pased its post-launch assessment review and is now operational. This milestone marks the beginning of the satellite’s mission to extend Landsat's unparalleled, 50-year record of imaging Earth’s land surfaces, surface waters, and coastal regions from space. Landsat 9 launched September 27, 2021, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The satellite carries two science instruments, the Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) and the Thermal Infrared Sensor 2 (TIRS-2). The OLI–2 captures observations of the Earth’s surface in visible, near-infrared, and shortwave-infrared bands, and TIRS-2 measures thermal infrared radiation, or heat, emitted from the Earth’s surface
