Next-generation LANDSAT is in the works... this from an article in the ArgusLeader... "The next satellite might eventually be dubbed Landsat 8 and is budgeted for $338 million this fiscal year. The memo from OSTP also said the government's goal is to make Landsat a permanent program rather than a series of independent missions." The announcement of a new satellite was made quietly just before Christmas. See http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060107/NEWS/601070315/1001
