Abstract
Researchers are fawning over improved images from the new Landsat 7 satellite, the latest in a line of earth-monitoring satellites first launched in 1972. But at the same time they are also worrying that there may not be a suitable successor to the government-built spacecraft, which is scheduled to operate until 2006, at which time the government plans to turn the reins over to private industry.Keywords
