Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper+ (ETM+), launched in April 1999, and Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper. (TM), launched in 1984, both have a single thermal band.

Despite 20+ years of operation, the TM on Landsat-5 is fully functional, although downlinks for the data are limited. Landsat-7 ETM+ experienced a failure of�...

Both instruments' thermal band calibrations have been updated previously: ETM+ in 2001 for a pre-launch calibration error and TM in 2007 for data acquired since�...

Effective April 1, 2010, the calibration of the TM thermal band was updated to correct for a lifetime 5.2% gain error and to temporally extend the offset�...
