The third paragraph was changed from "Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 provide 8-day repeat coverage of the Earth’s land surfaces. Landsat 9, which will replace the aging Landsat 7, is under development for launch in 2021. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the USGS are currently reviewing the findings from a joint Architecture Study Team, which will inform the design and implementation approach for Landsat Next, the follow-on mission to Landsat 9. Landsat 9 and its successors will provide a sustainable, space-based system to extend the nearly 50-year Landsat series of high-quality global land imaging measurements--the world’s longest time series of the Earth’s land surface." to "Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 provide 8-day repeat coverage of the Earth’s land surfaces. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the USGS are currently reviewing the findings from a joint Architecture Study Team, which will inform the design and implementation approach for Landsat Next, the follow-on mission to Landsat 9. Landsat 9 and its successors are planned to provide a sustainable, space-based system to extend the 50-year Landsat series of high-quality global land imaging measurements—the world’s longest time series of the Earth’s land surface."
