À ce moment, la NASA avait décidé que l'ERTS ne serait plus un satellite technologique et son nom a été changé pour «Landsat» pour mettre en relief la venue prochaine d'un autre satellite, dont la principale application serait d'acquérir des données océanographiques et qui s'appellerait «SEASAT». En réalité, un grand nombre d'applications des données SEASAT avaient, tout comme les données Landsat, de nombreuses applications terrestres. 4, record 1, French, - Satellite%20de%20la%20terre%20destin%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20des%20applications%20oc%C3%A9anographiques
