June 6, 2008 - Largest Continent Released for Newly Acquired Landsat Data
The USGS Landsat Project has expanded its free data acquisitions to Eurasia. As nearly cloud-free scenes are acquired by Landsat 7, they are automatically processed and posted online for users to download at no charge. Because only a portion of the globe is collected daily, and some of the images are cloud-covered, not all areas of Eurasia are equally available at all times. To view and download this data, please visit the Standard L1T dataset in the Landsat Science Collection in GloVis or Earth Explorer.

April 21, 2008 - Imagery for Everyone
By February 2009, any Landsat archive scene selected by a user will be processed, at no charge, automatically to a standard product recipe and staged for electronic retrieval. In addition, newly acquired scenes meeting a cloud cover threshold of 20% or below will be processed to the standard recipe and placed on line for at least three months, after which they will remain available for selection from the archive. Details can be found in the USGS Technical Announcement - .pdf (66.8 KB).
