What Does ERTS Stand For?
ERTS stands for Earth Resources Technology Satellite Became Landsat
ERTS, or Earth Resources Technology Satellite, refers to the pioneering satellite program that evolved into the Landsat satellite series. Initiated in the early 1970s, ERTS was designed to monitor Earth's natural resources and environmental changes through remote sensing technology. Its legacy continues with the Landsat program, which provides critical data for agriculture, forestry, land use planning, and environmental monitoring, facilitating informed decision-making and sustainable management of Earth's resources.
